Video Editing!!!!!
There is no way to edit videos taken on my WP8. Even if I pull the video onto my PC, there is no app to do this. The only way to edit it is if I convert it to a different format. There should either be an app on my windows phone that will allow me to edit the video, or Movie Maker should be enhanced to allow the editing of the video formats taken from my phone. This is a huge deficiency in WP8!!

smsto protocol
When using the "Vision" search to read QR codes, it would be useful to support the smsto protocol. It's currently handled just as text.
If we need this support, we still have to install a third party QR code reader!

Add "take picture" feature by sound recognition
It would be nice to take a picture by just pointing at the object and say something like "Click" to take the picture. Sometimes when you hold the phone its not so easy to find and press the camera button. Whould be a simple and cool feature.

See date/time on photos
When looking through old photos I often wonder "when was that taken?". I touch to see all the options like share, etc... But I don't see an option that would show all the metadata. Where was it taken? (link to Bing maps). When was it taken??
