I am looking forward to seeing an app for a mini on-screen keyboard in portrait mode for simple responding to email/text.

Also, a banking app for my bank (citizens).
video would be nice, but not necessarily an Emergency by any means.
Editable Dictionary for spell check.
Accelerometer support for auto portrait/landscape when phone it flipped.
BETTER GPS support. It is HORRIBLE now.

How about an app that rotates the screen based upon the apps specified by the user, and the orientation of the phone. That way you can set certain apps to rotate when they have focus, but not others.

I mean, what the heck? Why isn't this standard? Does Apple have a patent on it?

the latest blackberry has auto rotate, so if apple have patented it, then blackberry are paying for it.
