      In App Purchase is a big one for consumers. Buy additional levels for your favorite game. iPod song access is also a good for gamers. Enhanced accessory support could also be interesting, but not quite sure how yet, Subscription capability for episodic (sp?) games, In game voice support. This is by far the best mobile gaming platform around!

      Subscriptions to episodic games? That, sir, would be a beautiful thing.
