Oh and better apps. Aside from a few games and streaming apps, apple's control over them is old and could get me to switch to another later. Slingbox comes to mind, tethering app, etc. It's getting pathetic having to sort through all the trash apps to find maybe 4-5 decent ones.

What apple has going for them is what they need to keep in mind. The whole experience of the touch screen, how easy it is to navigate, screen res, great kb, browser, etc.

Keep in mind as well, some say opera on the touch diamond is a better web experience than the iphone 3g. If that Diamond responds well to touch, isn't too sluggish, and can be used to type with well, ..well let's just say apple has work to do. Even so, the touch pro could alleviate that kb concern. But in the end, i can tweak the diamond, run the apps i really want, not to mention be on a much faster, cheaper network.

I'm sure things like longer battery life, faster data, etc will be things that are improved on for sure. As for the issues with the apps and app store you mention, I think that is what will happen when you open up the door to developers. No different on any other video game console or pc/mac. Some programs are pure garbage while some are golden. But just because they are garbage does not mean they don't belong there. Someone will buy it no matter what.
