Lets try a practical one:
  • an undestructable USB port
  • magnetic compass + good gyroscopes & accelerometers (for augmented reality and inertial navigation), a air pressure sensor might be also nice (GTA04 has it)
  • application-usable hardware buttons - very useful due to limited screen estate for buttons, can be used to quickly trigger actions (take a picture, switch to task view, start sound recording, turn page, jump to map, terminate call ...), easy to press when moving or when screen is not readable
  • support for connecting for both ad-hoc and infrastructure APs - so that the device can function as an AP in both modes and connect to APs running in both modes
  • application usable notification LED
  • solid construction that does not crack
  • USB mass storage support (see the MTP fiasco in Android 4.0 for reference)
  • a two-way application usable infraport might be nice
  • a built-in Qr Code reader + Qr Codes for package installation in repository/store
  • built in strap attachment point
