Make the connectivity modular with a choice of a Wifi or EVDO option. Won't happen of course because Sprint has factored in people like me who cannot get EVDO where we live yet we are/"would be" paying for others to have that connectivity. I would bet (complete WAG) but I would bet 20% of all Kindle users have none or marginal EVDO connectivity where they live.
Also for 400-bones I would like some more PDA like functionality. One big issue would be some software to do the NYTimes crossword puzzle. That crossword puzzle is one of the main reasons to sub to the paper. So buy Be Crossword or some other software and port it over the the Kindle's OS. This would also open another revenue stream for those would sub to only the crossword puzzles from the NYTimes or other papers that use the .puz format.
As it sits we are waiting to see what shakes out over the next 6-12 months. I am especially interested in the life expectancy of the device and it's failure rates. IN many respects Amazon is a new hardware vendor w/o a track record...
