Macworld: ‘25 Native iPhone Apps We Hope to See’

Good list overall, but a few of these ideas — like the TypeIt4Me/TextExpander text macro utility — aren’t “apps”, but system extensions. Also, Dan Moren wrote an entire article asking for a dedicated task manager/to do app for the iPhone. I’d like to see that, too, in theory — but Apple hasn’t even written such an app for the Mac. Instead, in Leopard, Apple added a system level service that sprinkles to-do items across iCal and Mail.
