Please Fix the iPhone!
The format of the site is pretty simple: a list of people's wishes for improvements to the iPhone, with the ability to vote for any you agree with. The front page shows the top 10 of the thousands of wishes people have submitted. I knew people had problems with the iPhone, but I didn't know they had thousands of problems with it. Take that number with a grain of salt, though: wishes range from the serious (no physical keyboard) to the not so serious (no self-destruct button).
I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

@darley: yeah, i think so too. MMS imho was the most useless invention ever, only useful for putting money into network's pockets. Plus personally I don't know anyone sending mms, so yeah, either just send email, or send normal ecards with your iphone. MMS = FAIL

Email is as much an answer to MMS as using AOLIM or twitter is an answer to SMS support.

The thing is that all these features are available on the iPhone, if it is jailbroken. MMS (Swirly MMS), Video Recorder (Cycorder) and thousands of other non-apple approved applications and themes are available free with just a few presses of winpwn (PC) or the PwnageTool (Mac). You can use Google to find any of these pieces of software, along with how to use them.
Of course people are going to argue that these features should be already included in the standard iPhone package but we all know that Apple is the king of marketing and if they can release another version of the iPhone that includes these features then they can up sell to people that already have an iPhone and make twice the money.
And finally, by now everybody knows the "limitations" of the iPhone. So if you buy an iPhone and then complain that it doesn't come with a video recorder as standard then you should be required to give your phone to someone more deserving and be pointed and laughed at for your stupidity.

That's the thing, however. Some folks are OK living within the constraints. I'm OK without MMS and a video recorder. Everyone's a cricket, I guess.

How about the ability to delete certain SMS messages, or forward certain ones? Or send to multiple contacts?

Why would I want a technology that's fated to die in like 2 years? If I want something simple, I'll send SMS, if not, then email is the answer.

Yeah, I think MMS is deeply flawed, I wouldn't use it, but honestly why not? For me notes syncing is the most valuable addition.
The most important thing is sending feedback to apple.

I love my iPhone, but there are a lot of good ideas on this site.

MMS is just designed to line carrier's pockets. I GUARANTEE if they make MMS available ATT will tack on another $5-10 to the ALREADY RIDICULOUS text charges.

Considering I am a PC only user, I have been absolutely thrilled with my Phone except for maybe one or two little things. Copy and Paster would be extremely great, but Safari seems to crash a lot, am I the only one?
