Someone can get rich off this, I don't have the time to get rich off of it myself. 
The iPhone needs an IR adapter so it can be used as a remote for more then just iTunes or Apple TV.
I'd love to be able to view an act upon a channel guide that sat in my hand and didn't obscure the screen. Moreover, I'd also love a remote that was modal and wasn't always showing a ton of useless buttons.

OK, heres one I really would like to see redone to work with the 3G. I've been looking all over for something that can charge and play music at the same time like the Belkin charger below... But that thing only works for the first iPhone... My only other real option is to buy a brand new car radio that supports the iPhone 3G...

- A proper (not wifi) OBD-II code reader for 1996+ vehicles.
- I/R output device for use as a universal remote
- docking station with extended multi-touch screen abilities (ala Maclifes slick iPhone like clock radio concept)

Re: iphone os 3.0 What "External Accessory" do you want?
Just let me hook it up to my TV to play games on. Both me and my kids would love it! Is that so hard? Wouldn't that be an instant Nitendo and Sony hand gaming killer?
This seems too obvious to me. Which makes me wonder if my little 1st gen Touch could push the pixels from it onto my TV?
