For all the success of the Apple (AAPL) iPhone, there are still some pretty big issues iPhone owners want to have addressed - and first among them is 3G capability.

That's the number one feature iPhone owners want integrated into the next generation of the iPhone (19%) - according to a recent ChangeWave survey - even more so than third-party software (18%), GPS functionality (15%) or E-mail integration (10%).

The survey also uncovered the exact same concern among 779 consumers who said they'd likely be buying an iPhone in the future.

When we asked them why they hadn't yet purchased an iPhone, one-in-four said they were holding out to wait for the next generation iPhone (14%) or for 3G network compatibility (11%).

That's good news for Apple, assuming the next generation of the iPhone is
3G compatible.

Hey Steve, are you seeing the same numbers we are? We'll know in June...
