OLED and High-Def Out

It's fine to want those things but, as you probably know, they won't happen.

OLED: too expensive and doesn't exist anywhere on the market except sony's $2k 11" LCD
HDMI: Apple uses DisplayPort not HDMI. So maybe displayport with a dongle but no way they put a dedicated video output on the iPhone since it's not a primary function of the device
Waterproof: what cell phones or other computing devices for that matter do you know of that are waterproof? (toshiba toughbook is the only one i know)
Camera: so you want a "decent" camera that is only "halfway decent". wait, what?

Waterproof is a bit harder to swallow and yeah very few devices have this feature. If you get water on your iPhone get it turned off right away (force if you have to). Get it into a bag or cup of (uncooked - if I have to point out) rice, I would suggest for 48 hours and change the rice if you have to. This works most of the time and as long as other damage hasn't already occurred.

Camera I think we have a lot of answers to this already.

Now for OLED and HDMI

OLED is not that far off and the parts lists floating around from the major suppliers are putting those costs closer and closer every week. We have seen the Zune HD pick it up and I have heard some rumors of Apple putting it into the iPhone (would love to see it in the next release but I wouldn't hold my breath).

HDMI I believe he's referring to the posts about high-def support and out. High-def meaning can play 720p (not at that resolution on the phone) but can play through to a TV. Apple does have component cable for the iPhone. And you'll never see another port on these devices besides the Dock port.

Another note.... I would love to walk into a board room and run my presentation and videos right from my phone through a projector.... and this device would be perfect for it and other smartphones support this at higher resolutions then the current iPhone. It works alright on the current iPhone but I've opted for the quality of my MacBook. I have used a Palm in the past for this and got much better results and didn't hesitate to connect the Palm, avoiding having to lug around my laptop.
