The one, by far biggest disappointment for me is no 3rd party apps. This is the real biggie because it limits the platform and what can be done. I'd love to see all kinds of applications for the device and with the same freedom to the platform that Palm gives. I want my Palmary Clock-type, selected from several attempts to make the best one, just like I have on the Palm. I want a music-creation app like Bhajis Loops (Hey Apple, how about an iPhone Garageband? iMovie to Go. A photo-manipulation app (doesn't need to be Photophop but something.
I want to see a successor to the Palm platform in the iPhone as a Mac in the palm of my hand, not just an iPod. We can only imagine what great applications could be made available. While the next iPhone may address the video recording, the on board memory, and other smaller things, this was a decision that is probably not going to change with at least the first couple of revision at least. Maybe an online petition could be done to ask for the phone to be opened for full development.
I'll give them a year, and see what Palm's Linux OS'ed devices have to offer. Who knows what else could be developed in the next year or so, which will be the minimum time I'd spend before buying into a new platform anyway.
C'mon Apple, make a true revolution in the market happen.
