Angular Gauges
Angular Gauges such as the ones on http://www.fusioncharts.com/widgets/gallery.asp (in the top group).
This would allow people to writing financial systems or any kind of alert type of systems to monitor how far away they are from a goal or how close they are to triggering alerts.
Prime example is in the financial world: You set a Budget of $100,000 with a $20,000 threshold for a project, the gauge stays in the Green zone when spendings are below 100k, when its between 100 and 120 it is in the yellow zone (e.g. time to be concerned) and above 120k it would… more

For those of you who need some form of angular gauges and don’t want to bring in a second library, take a look at this mockup, quickly built on top of the Highcharts drawing API: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/bLks3/
While it is undocumented and probalbly needs some hacking to customize it, it could serve as a substitute until we are ready to launch a fully integrated version with intelligent axis handling, tooltips, animations and more of the Highcharts bells and whistles.

Did a rather simple, experimental implementation of this in the latest commit. Please test http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/ZUcCS/ and report back any problems. Column and area series don’t work (yet) because they assume 0 for the yAxis min value. Negative values correctly breaks the chart.

Funnel Chart Mode
Can you work on Funnel Charts ( like here: http://www.fusioncharts.com/widgets/gallery.asp#funnel )? Those are very helpful to chart processes, sales performance etc.

We’ve created a small plugin for maps, as seen at http://www.highcharts.com/studies/world-map.htm. So far it supports the basic features of a Highcharts series, with point events, config options etc.
Here’s another example that has both clickable points with drilldown AND data from GS: http://www.highcharts.com/studies/us-map.htm

Hiding of Y-Axis
When hiding an Y-Axis (for example when using multiple Y-Axis), I'd suggest to remove the Y-Axis title as well. Yet only the axis disappears.

We added the new axis.showEmpty option. When you set this to false, empty axes are completely hidden: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/gdDbt/. This will be officially released in Highcharts 2.2.

Support android as well as iDevices
I'm not sure if this is a big one or not, but I know that Android uses a form of WebKit for the built-in browser so it can't be too far removed from the iPhone / iPad
NB - technically you can install Opera or another browser, but most people don't

This applies to Android 2.x only. Highcharts already runs well on A3 and A4. We are working for a canvas renderer, which will be available for Highcharts 2.2.

This feature is planned for Highcharts 3.0. We wrote up a temporary hack, which is limited to SVG browsers. That means that it won’t work in IE6, 7 and 8. See http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/PMyHQ/.

Drill Down Charts
There should be drill down facility charts. If I have a pie chart in which I have two data "Desktop" and "Mobile". If I click on "Mobile" part in pie chart it should redirect to column graph or bar graph (whichever i specify) and list ll the mobile device I had used.
