Alright, it's been a while since we've had one of these threads. What are you currently waiting for google to do?

Here's my list:
* Use Gizmo5 to link Google Voice and Google Talk to support conference (audio and video) calling and VoIP (coming with the Nexus One?)
* Finish aquiring On2 and open their codecs
* YouTube 2.0 http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/12/what-might-we-see-in-youtube-20.html
* Platypus/Google Web Drive/Cosmo (although the cloud is really starting to scare me, it's just so damn convenient)!
* Cease to be publicly traded and become a worker-owned cooperative (I wish!)
* Did I miss anything major?

(OT but still related)
I recommend you to watch http://live.twit.tv right now (The Week in Google with Leo Laporte, Jeff Jarvis & co). They know quite well the topic and discuss most opportunities/threats that Google faces.

Ah, our annual Google Wishlist!
Looking back the only major request that we haven't got is GDrive :P

So my list is:
* GDrive
* Google voice in countries other than the US
* Offline Gmail in Chrome on Linux (Gears/HTML5/Magic)
* Google Earth Wii Channel (Yes I have the Homebrew WiiEarth but a 3D version would be cool)

My wishlist:
* Google Earth for Android
* Something like Microsoft's Bird Eye in Google Maps
* Google Navigation in Europe
* Better look and feel of Android
* Multitouch on Android
* Offline suport in GMail and Docs implemented via HTML5
* Nexus One for less than 300$
* SPDY (support in Chrome and Google servers, release of opensourced libs for client and server)
* Progress on Native Client
* Keep Bing's market share flat ;)

1. GDrive
2. Higher AdSense earnings

That would keep me happy for the next 12 months.

Oh, how could i forget!

Google Checkout NEEDS to support all the cool stuff PayPal does. Easy transactions, monthly payments, and if they want to 1-up PayPal, they can (and should) allow for micropayments/threshold pledge system
