Support for network sharing using samba over WiFi (and why not using USB networking too).

No need for a USB cable for sharing files and also much more reliable than the current USB MTP support (that for some reason Linux desktops always seem to have problems with) connection and it would be very easy to connect from any system that supports SMB network shares.

Could be done with a simple samba package with no system integration but obviously integration with the device would be much nicer, for example bringing up/down the sharing service when network is up/down. Or for example enable sharing on home/work WiFi only.
