But I think chances of Apple releasing these features are not very high:

64 gig - 60% chance with next release

128 gig - 10% with next release

solar panel - still 3-5 years away?

Well I want one that has a whistle that calls monkeys down from the trees but I don't think that's very likely either...

Solar panel -why? Makes more sense to have panels on your roof and charge the player that way - the government  pay you to do this and it is far more effective.

Well you can get 64gb iPad 2 now, so I'm sure this'll trickle down. iPhone 5, poss second release, would be my guess.

 

Also not sure about solar panel. Nice idea but would encourage leaving out on display and therefore theft. Don't know how possible motion charging like you can get with some watches is.

 

Another constructive addition to the debate by The_Lhc, well done. When you have something to say, you're very helpful, so it's a shame.

No place for humour here then? Noted...

I have not thought of theft aspect. Still, I think a solar panel, provided it can supply enough power to top up the charge and be small enough to fit in and commercially viable, would be be very handy.

Not a fan of gold or any other bling. I want caaaaaaaapaaaaaaacity!

Although admittedly even gold plating is not the most useless thing I heard of marketed alongside i-things.

Sounds like you need one of these. Granted it's not very subtle and if someone handed me one I'd probably try shooting things with it but I think it's about as close as you're going to get... #IAMHELPFULDAMMIT

I'd argue that's more use than Margetti's offering, at least mine's got a solar panel. And looks like something out of Judge Dredd, which is important.

that is exactly my point - if someone can fit a solar panel inside a radio, chances are apple can fit one inside an iphone.

A flexible clothing mounted solar pannel with an inductive charger in the pocket, that would be awesome!  Cant see a solar panel on the phone it self working as phones are either in hands or in pockets.

 

I really like the idea of the iPod Nano watches (whilst we are on the subject of Apple requests) , there are some nice designs out there but the functionality is lacking.  If however, you could bluetooth tether them to an iPhone so your notifications pop up on a watch, I think this would be great.  Checking a phone in a meeting or restaurant or cinema can seem rude, no one bats an eye at checking a watch.  Would be great for when Im on my bike as well so I know if something is worth stopping for!

Also, due to environmental factors, Flash Memory is not sticking to Moores law at the mo, so would not be surprised if the iPone memory doesn't double this season.
