    What's your wish list of an application you would like to see on the iPhone and iPod Touch? A simple todo-list? How about games? Here's my ever-expanding list:

    * Todo List
    * Use the disk space on the iPhone/iPod Touch as a general file store! The older iPod's had this for ages... :(
    * PDF Reader!!!

    More of an iPhone wishlist sort in general:

    -more BATTERY LIFE.
    -a to do list.
    (Hoping for both in wwdc08 - one week!)

    A more attractive finish for the iphone. A scratch-resistant backing for the ipod touch.

    Better 3rd party app games.

    Also better battery life (with wifi on), like the above person said.

    I'd like to be able to type with the phone sideways while texting. It's much easier that way.

    YES, definitely! Also I'd like to see a native IM program, a camera app with digital zoom and more settings, a video recorder, and a program to edit/create MS Office documents.

    There is a ToDo list, its called ToDo List by Erica Sadun (from tuaw)
    The iPhone already reads PDFs from online, and there also is a Reader application that can read large PDFs nicely...

    Fring is a good IM/chat app

    If you're using an unlocked iPhone... which I personally do not want to do.

    Which is why I'm hoping for it in the update. :)

    For the ipod touch I'd love a native windows live messenger client, and to view and edit word, excelm and powerpoint files. Wifi syncing too.

    I want Raging Thunder on the app store that game is the ****! I also wish there was an application that would make use of the speaker within the iPod Touch cuz the alarm can definitely use it so I think when I get an e-mail it should go through that speaker too I shouldn't need headphones or speakers hooked up to it..

    Do you guys think the App Store will be released at WWDC? I'm hoping there are some real quality free games on it. I hope there's also an app that allows you to change the background like on the home screen (with all the icons and stuff) instead of having a black background change it to your wallpaper or whatever
