Expectations are really high for the 3G iPhone

3G and more business support is nice, but that is already expected. Apple needs to give its customers something new that will make them say "wow" again, like when it unveiled the iPhone last year.

The first iPhone was revolutionary when it came out, doing stuff no other cell phone was capable of doing. When I went to parties, people would be showing it off because it was so cool. The next iPhone needs to have the features that will impress people like this again. It has to be so good, that someone who bought an iPhone yesterday, they would want to buy the new one.

To be honest, I don't think there is going to be a giant leap with the 3G iPhone. Many of the Ipod upgrades were really just adding a few feature and making it slightly lighter. They usually aren't big enough to make someone who already owns an iPod to upgrade to another.

The next iPhone needs to blow people out of the water, or else the stock price will fall. Steve Jobs needs to pull a miracle here. If anyone could do it, it would be him, but I wouldn't put my money on it. How much cooler can you really make the iPhone be.
