I’d like to see the camera moved to the front and iChat video conferencing over WiFi (at least until the phone network can support it).

If Apple makes that a feature of the iPhone that would be amazing. It would definitely increase sales because businessmen who are late and need to be in a meeting but are still on the train into the office can do a video chat and basically be there. That would be truely amazing and like nothing else on the market.

(at least until the phone network can support it).

3G networks such as UMTS supports mobile videoconferencing.

By that, i mean that we have to wait until Steve realizes that GSM phones, even quad band GSM phones and GSM/EDGE networks are obsolete, so that Apple will release the iPhone 2.0 featuring WCDMA and quadband GSM, like my fav phone, the Nokia N80.  Also we have to wait until a decent carrier gets the required licence from the FCC to operate within the US with UTMS/HSDPA networks.

Till then, we only have the coolest phone on the market with late last’s century technology (GSM dates back to the late 80s and early 90s, the first GSM network was launched in 1991 by Radiolinja in Finland, where Nokia phones used to be made.)

I have seen GSM and WCDMA everywhere but I do not know what they are so can you explain it to me.
