• Flash
  • Front Facing Camera
  • Improved Camera
  • Video Support
  • Compass
  • Turn-by-turn Directions (with TomTom)
  • Downloadable Maps (with Tom Tom)
  • Background Applications (?, Well, Jailbreaking partially does it)
  • FM Tuner
  • BT Obex (with Jailbreak)
  • Voice Control
  • Document Management (with QuickOffice)

So, I really can’t decide. It’s a pitty that the refreshed hardware didn’t include a front facing camera for iChat/3G conferencing or an FM Tuner (even though the chipset can apparently send and receive FM signals, interesting). However, with 3.0’s support for 3rd-party hardware, perhaps a small FM tuner is an option, much like the iPod addon (which doesn’t work with the iPhone or iPod Touch). There’s still the lack of decent background applications, but I’m starting to wonder if that’s less of a big deal now. Then there’s always the  lack of Flash, but, maybe it’ll come sooner, than later, due to the extended battery and improved speed (seeing as Apple complained that Flash was too CPU heavy). Oh decisions. Either way it’d be on Optus, probably a 1 year contract.
