(HW changes)

Scroll wheel (navigation in lockup mode and indexes is quite painfull in current form)
Replace the current 5-way button with something less crappy – eg like the ones on the Nokia N95
More buttons to turn pages (current solution is quite painful)
Remove the 2.5mm jack for sound (sound is not a feature that anyone would use and the current sound quality crap, and 2.5mm is a strange choice)
Outlet for power for reading lights (to be used either by a Mighty Bright style light or a custom Lightwedge).
More juice – the current version is not slow, but it could be snappier
Faster screen updates
Slightly larger screen, 7” (but same size of the unit)
Support for SDHC
Support for SD SIDO so that WiFi would be possible for those paying extra
Improve build quality
