Apple Inc (AAPL)

So, is it too early to speculate on what might be added to iPhone Rev. B?

Here's a list from Gizmodo of features missing in the first version:

• 3G (EV-DO/HSDPA)
• GPS
• A real keyboard
• Removable battery
• Expandable Storage
• Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE)
• Songs as Ringtones
• Games
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)

3G will show up eventually, no doubt; Jobs has said as much.

The keyboard is obviously not gonna happen, since that's contrary to the whole design and intent. On the other hand, I could easily see a 3rd-party come up with a small "clip-on" physical keyboard which plugs into the bottom for those who simply can't handle the virtual keyboard.

The battery probably won't change; they're following the same path as the iPod, and that's worked out pretty well. Removable battery probably = thicker/bulkier iPhone.

Personally, I have no problem with the lack of music ringtones; I find them incredibly irritating. Still, this *is* an odd thing to disallow considering that it's an iPod (as well as the recent addition of DRM-free music on iTunes).

Dunno about the rest.
