Ha. Awesome. None of these things have anything to do with the OS, but I'll bite...

- iWork can open, edit, save and create word/excel/powerpoint documents, and it's coming to the iPhone OS when the iPad launches.
- You can block ads in Safari.
- I don't know the specific cloud you're refering to, but the iPhone supports cloud computing.
- Why wouldn't the iPhone support SSL? What a weird thing to suggest. Of course it supports SSL. Hell, I even have a terminal app that allows command-line SSL connections. You need a knew info source, man.
- I can VOiP on my iPhone already, thanks. Even VOiP over 3G has been enabled now.
- I can already use any app I want to. I have 140,000 to choose from. The only stipulation is that they have to not have any bugs or security holes.
- There are hundreds of non-iTunes, music-playing apps in the App Store. A lot of then are free, too.
- Whats wrong with QuickTime on the iPhone? It's nothing like the PC version. I'm confused by what options you think your video player needs that you can't do on the iPhone. The multiple formats thing is valid, but it's not exactly rocket surgery to convert a video to one of the iPhone formats.
- The iPhone has plenty of apps that allow you to integrate with home media servers. Of course, you can't stream to the media server from your phone, but if your seriously looking to stream directly from your phone, then you should be up for some kind of award or something.

Methinks you should actually get an iPhone. You'd be quite shocked at how different it is than what you imagine it to be.
