Cameras can never be too good and batteries never too long lasting.

Aside from that, the world would become a better place if all manufacturers dropped everything else and only focused on DESIGN for a full year, including UI/OS design.

We already have all that horsepower. But so, so much of it is being wasted on inefficient, un-intuitive, and aesthetically weak design.

- Picoprojector should be a feature of the high end models, not limited to a special one cut down somewhere else.

I'm indifferent to whether or not a battery is removable. So long as it lasts long enough. If it is removable then great. If not it wouldn't be a deal breaker. I just wish they lasted longer. Phones are just now starting to get 2 days+ and that's if you have one that's freakishly large. I'm waiting for the day that I won't be SOL if I forget to charge overnight.

What battery lasts that long? I can't get one to last a full 24 hours

Battery is #1 but storage space is my 2nd. 16 isnt big enough and id like to see a 48GB version actually. Why do we need to go from 32GB to 64GB? I mean 64 would work but it is rare asside from a iPhone and 48 GB would be the sweet spot imo and it keeps the cost down a little.
I dont know why they dont make a 48GB card or gadget. I just think we should have 16,32 and 64 options since they dont make a 48GB option.

A phone powered via kinetic energy. As you move about, it charges the battery. At rest, battery kicks in.

Never carry a charger again.
