That's a good list. I would move Flash to Would be Nice and move true GPS to mandatory. A couple of things I really want to see are:

Bluetooth headphone profile
Bluetooth keyboard profile - I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I'd love to take the iPhone and the keyboard with me when I go out of town to take notes. I might not need to bring a laptop with me.
Infrared - for exchanging contacts with other phones and so I can use my iPhone as a universale remote.
More options in iTunes for syncing photos
A bigger video selection dialog in iTunes
Nike+ compatibility (I read this will probably be in 2.0)
Flash storage adapter so I can backup photos from my digicam
Integrated taser (just kidding)

Yes, the 3G is a done deal; that's why it wasn't mentioned.

Here's a basic one: 3G.

Is that a done deal now?

Another: Dvorak Keyboard :)

Actually, the dual lenses is the rumor. :)

Good point about being to have permanent contact anchors within the map app.

Wouldn't video chat require that the camera pointed to the face of the camera? Wouldn't that make using it as a camera or video recording device difficult? I can just about guarantee that they're not going to put any moving parts on it. I suppose they could have two lenses for the camera, but I seriously doubt it. Actually, video chat would be cool, and I'd be OK if they replaced ALL camera features with it. I just don't get wanting ti capture 4 or 6 MP of information with a tiny phone-camera lens. The pictures wouldn't be significantly better than the current ones. If you want to take quality pictures or video get a camera or video camera.

I have my own list of things I want to see:

<ol>
<li>Some scale information on the maps.</li>
<li>The ability to view location pins for our own list of things (like a set of contacts or all contacts). This would be at least as useful as being able to see seafood restaurants.</li>
<li>Some scale information on the maps.
(Seriously, the maps would be MUCH more useful.)</li>
</ol>
