Uh...what else would they add?
The rumors about video chat don't make sense for two reasons:
1. 3G isn't fast enough yet to support it. They'll be there soon apparently, but not yet. Heck, you can't even get a webcam on a broadband connection to not skip at least once per session.
2. I'd imagine they wouldn't add video chat without some kind of auto-stabilization software, and the CPU inside the iPhone probably isn't powerful enough for that. Using stabilization software in Final Cut Pro takes forever on a quad-core machine with oodles of ram, so they'd need some kind of special chip in there combined with a high-res camcorder to cut it down so your face isn't shaky.
I can't really think of anything else. They added 3G. They added GPS. They're not going to upgrade the memory to 32gb until the iTouch gets 64gb (or whatever the next step in Flash memory is, be it 48gb or 64gb). The screen and multi-touch input is already perfect. They made the headphone jack flush-mounted. They changed the back to plastic to get better reception. I think it's all up to the software now.
I'm curious as to what, exactly, you are disappointed by?
