Revolutionary iPhone ideas: Apple take note

Let me stream internet radio to my iPhone over WiFi. I can’t tell you how awesome this would be. I don’t want to have to capture Groove Salad over night to a big ol’ MP3 and listen to it throughout the day. I want live radio! NPR, cool college stations, it would be extremely cool.
When my iPhone is attached to my computer, I should be able to send and receive text messages (SMS) via some method. Address book used to do this (I think) with phones connected via Bluetooth. Why not build this functionality into iChat? Or expose it via an API so developers can hook into into. Imagine sending texts to friends through Adium. Getting a Growl alert when someone sends you an SMS. You can already do this stuff on supported Bluetooth phones with an application called BluePhoneElite. If a really dinky RAZR can do this stuff, the iPhone should too!
So Apple, if you’re listening, figure this junk out! People would love it, I promise.
