So, a big part of the appeal of the Dragonborn for me, at least, was that the preview art sometimes showed them with wings. I imagined that, via appropriate feats or some such, one could eventually get your Dragonborn character to fly under his own power. While I've only had a chance to begin perusing my books (they arrived while I was away), I can't find anything to help me support this idea. So, here are my rough attempts at a solution. It's only an outline at this stage, since I haven't had a chance to get a sense of the numbers, but here it goes:
Draconic Wings [Dragonborn, Heroic]
Prerequisites: Dragonborn, feat must be taken at 1st level
Benefit: You have a pair of wings that provide you with a +X bonus to Athletics checks involving jumping or climbing.
Draconic Flight [Dragonborn, Paragon]
Prerequisites: Dragonborn, Draconic Wings feat
Benefit: Your wings now grant you a fly speed of X. You are consider a clumsy flier, and have an altitude limit of X.
Improved Maneuverability
Prerequisites: Fly speed (clumsy)
Benefit: Your flight is no longer considered clumsy.
Hover
Prerequisites: Fly speed (non-clumsy)
Benefit: You may now hover.
Improved Altitude

You may take this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.
