One thing that would be very useful sometimes is touch tone telephone trading when a web browser is not available. It doesn't have to be very fancy and speak seven languages, just accept orders, give quotes, and report executions. This would round out the palette of features.

"All that Java takes time," Actually, there isn't any Java on the new order pages. There is Java on the new home page, but if you bypass the home page and bookmark the order page (or at least the login page, with the buttons for the various servers) you bypass that. Having Java on the home page is just plain dumb, as it's going to scare away new customers. Which is fine by me. ;) (Will help keep the servers from being overloaded...) I beleive the only Java being used on the home page is the stupid Dilbert ticker. Geezus, dump the Dilbert Ticker already!
