Wishes For Windows Mobile

So the Expert topic for this month is what feature(s) we would like to add to Windows Mobile, and I must say, there are quite a lot in my list but let's narrow it down to what can be done: Finger Friendly I mean, come on Microsoft, why should I be taking out my stylus to navigate my phone when those iPhone users just need to use their fingers? Multi-Touch This will be really useful in making web browsers that much better (think manual zoom ala iPhone). Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates You have a built-in Windows Update in WM6 but why was it never used? Are you saying that there was no need to update the device since May 2007 (when it was first released to consumers)? What about the trojan that surfaced some weeks back? Don't you think that could have been fixed with an update? This could be that there is no standardization because manufacturers tweak the OS to their needs but if that's the case, I would rather have standardization like my desktop than to not have useful updates. Open Source ActiveSync is pretty useful but not everyone has Outlook and not everyone uses Windows. Maybe you could spare a thought to the (growing) number of people who are using Linux and open up the sync process to make it easier for everyone? There are other features that I would like to see added like better power management for a longer talktime/standby as well as thinner designs but I feel that these are more dependent on the manufacturers and technology out of its hands (for now). But the ones listed above are what it can implement should it choose to. What are the feature(s) you want to see in Windows Mobile?
