    A Mr Fusion, so you can pour in some left over beer or the crusts from ham sammiches, and get free power.

    Would you have to add water to make it expand?

    No, that would be just silly.

    You would need to rub it seductively.

    Dedicated FM radio without having to use a data connection. Like the old days of three years ago.

    Most phones do have the fm receiver, but they're disabled in many markets due to pressure from the carriers

    All Chinese phones have the fm radio receiver available by default

    Be great if they were modular like a pc. Make them according to your needs.

    Maybe phone tech has stagnated because most people realise that they never use these features? Even many of those who buy the newest one every year?? A recent poll I saw in a Tech magazine mentioned battery-life as the main priority for users.

    Does anyone here actually use Siri?

    Sim-less phones, so I could log-in to my number/credit/data on anyone's phone.

    Oh, and a light strong enough to toast bread.
    Mmmmm, toast

    Smellaphone app!

    An app that lets you smell what's being sent to you.

    Currently you can hear, see, and talk, but you can't smell.

    Why not?

    I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. I want to reach out and feel the solar wind flowing over me.

    A beer tap. Has to be decent beer though, none of your Bud or Coors Light crap. A small van following me around carrying the keg and cooler would probably come in handy too.

    You don't need Siri to set an alarm.
