Since Apple didn’t update the prod­uct line at their event this after­noon, I fig­ure I’ll post my wish­list of things that I want to see in the new model.  Since any­one with that kind of clout reads this page.

• A Cam­era. Stills is fine, video would be an added bonus.  The cam­era on my Black­Berry sucks big-time, and I’d like to take cute pic­tures of Nora with­out hav­ing to carry a 3rd piece of elec­tron­ics around with me.
• Full Blue­tooth sup­port. I want to be able to sync with my Mac­Book over Blue­tooth, I want to be able to use the Blue­tooth speak­ers in my office (or Blue­tooth head­phones, if I ever buy any). I want full file-transfer abil­i­ties, too; not just the crappy “you can sync your cal­en­dar and con­tacts” that it has now.
• A good speaker (yes, I know that the 2nd-generation iPod Touch has a speaker; I don’t have one of those) with an inde­pen­dent soft­ware vol­ume con­trol for each of sound effects and music

I think that if Apple added all three of those fea­tures, I might down­grade my Black­Berry to “stick that makes phone calls”, and do all of the “funnest” stuff on the iPod.  Or if Apple gives up on the AT&T exclu­siv­ity for the iPhone, and lets T-Mobile sell them in the US, I’ll just trade both out for an iPhone 3GS.  But since I don’t see that hap­pen­ing any time soon, I’ll just have to con­tinue hop­ing for upgrades instead.…
