iPhone Secret Features? (Mac OS X Leopard)

Are there any rumored withheld features from the iPhone including Mac OS X Leopard intergration? Do you think a mobile iLife and iWork will be purchaseable or will that not appear until the second generation iPhone?
Hmmm... I wonder what a mobile iLife and iWork would be like... *begins thinking deeply*

*inside imagination*
OK I'll just jam this Movie with this Music.... *attempts to edit an AMV*
*Several Minutes of Pain and Frustration later an iPhone is smoking next to my foot*

Hmm, maybe I can create a soundtrack in Garageband using my new iPhone
*several minutes of pain and frustration later an iPhone reenters orbit and burns up in the atmosphere*

Maybe I can create a new Flyer using Pages on my new iPhone
*several minutes of pain and frustration later I'm back at the Apple Store buying yet another iPhone*

OK... I'll just work on a Keynote Presentation since I can't do anything else it seems
*several minutes of pain and frustration later a new iPhone being stomped to death in Mexico by a bull and I buy a Windows Mobile phone*

*leaves imagination*
Nah... It's no good.

There are few secret iPhone features. The bread n butter are already in Leopard.

Calendar Store and Sync services will loom large. Apple may have something specific for iphone but they won't announce it until launch or after launch.

My guess is they'll eventually open up iPhone but they make make developers go through a certification processes and limit the distribution through Apple update.

I don't mind because I don't want a phone that crashes because corners were cut developing the iPhone app i've downloaded from the web.

Well I wanna see Word, excel, and PowerPoint for the iphone, I think that would be cool. iLife not so much, maybe apple could throw in the iphone there word processor, but stuff like garage band and the such on a portable device would be painful. But stuff like ichat, or some third party chatting program would be great, but typing with the touch screen may be a bit of a hasle.

An iWork viewer and full .Mac compatibility is a must.
