One that seems to miss everyone's wish list, but mine, is Remote Desktop. I would love to add files to the render queue on my workstation from the beach while sipping a cool drink. How about uploading files to my server and updating my website while waiting for you lunch to come... Does anyone else think this sounds GREAT? ... Maybe it's just me...

reading this on my iPhone in the Geneva airport; I have to agree. Some things would have been useful this trip, but some things merioned here are already quasi-possible:
1. Blogging client: I love Ecto on my Mac, yes. But at least for now there is a plugin for Movable Type meant specifically for use in Safari on the iPhone; very useful.
2. Flickr uploader: one can email photos to a photostream, though this can be a tiresome process if one has more than a few photos and a slow connection.
I would definitely use textexpander, I love it on my Mac. I'd like the ability to locate a place on the map and either text or email it to someone. I'd love it if one could synch one's google locations to begin with. Lastly, stronger dotmac integration would be helpful; online storage of documents and email attachments, keychain synching.
Lastly, the ability to edit the autocorrection dictionary. Typing in French on occasion is maddening, let alone using acronyms for work.
My two cents.

For me and many others, FLASH support would be great in order to be able to run interactive photo / panoramas on the iphone. iphone would be an ideal device for that purpose. Imagine spinning around 360A? with your fingers.

I would like to see true GPS functions, with a killer app aka TomTom, either by the connector or by a bluetooth GPS device

Excuse me? QUICKEN!

Don't any of you deal with money on a daily basis?

I find the reason you guys choose App 23. hilarious, since you never include pictures in your articles anyway. Unless your writing for other sites?
For real though. Please start including some screen shots. We are mac people.. we're visual, the pics, even if botched get us excited! I often choose other mac sites over this one for that reason, even when your articles are better

App 22. The accelerometers in the iPhone only detect 4 degrees of an angle... Up, down, left or right, no in between. I cannot be used as a spirt level

I got the iPhone to reduce the number of devices I carry. I would like to shed my Palm, but I still rely on it for Pocket Quicken and for connecting it to a Bluetooth keyboard for writing on-the-go.
