What they really need to do is a ‘mark all as read’ feature for email. I hate having to go through each email one at a time.

Also, I wish I could listen to wav files that are attached to my emails. These are voicemails that are emailed to me from my company VOIP phone.

You can squeeze the headphones mic twice and it will skip to the next track (once will pause it). Most iPhone owners I know don't even know that "squeeze" feature exists.</p> One feature that analyst requested is already a feature: the ability to change songs without touching the screen while working out.

Also, the downloading of content (including Ringtones) directly from iTunes would be much appreciated.</p> I would really like to see the addition of Instant Messaging and Picture Messaging, these seem like two glaring holes for the iPhone.
