Now that the iPhone has been on the market for a few weeks, the novelty is wearing off: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/07/02/iphone.ap/index.html Apparently, "easy activation" and "a data network that actually transfers data" were a few of the rejected features of the Apple iPhone. What were some of the additional rejected features of the iPhone?

Personal Ninja Mode. With little to no conscience. And when you wanted someone killed, Goolge Maps would respond accordingly, tracking the helpless son of a bitch down with pinpoint accuracy, while you watch comfortably through the magic of Google Street View and your 3.5 inch LCD iPhone screen. A free phone case would be cool too.
