My personal wish list for a 7260 includes the following:

1) Fast boot and power-loss tolerant file system e.g. EXT3.  Why?  My goal is 
to build an appliance that places no demands on the user to gracefully start up 
or shut down.  Flip a main power switch on or off and expect it to come up 
quickly and in a predictable amount of time.  The user should also be able to 
disconnect the battery powering the system without concern that it's going to 
take more than the normal startup time to reboot.

2) Compiled-in USB drivers, not modules.

3) 2.6.whatever is most recent and stable.

4) Working 802.11

5) Higher resolution system clock.  IIRC, 2.4 used a 100 Hz clock and 2.6 uses 
250 Hz.  IIRC, you can build it to run at 1k Hz.
