For both Apple and Google this time

Dear Cupertino,
CC: Googleplex

You guys work together great on several aspects of various products, however, there is one feature or section that I think would be great for you to fix.

Apple -- Your iChat supports video and audio chat.
Google -- Your Gtalk supports video and audio chat.

Can you make iChat connected to Gtalk be able to talk with those individuals on Gtalk that have cameras?

Thanks,

Joel

WWDC 2009 iPhone Wishlist

Dear Cupertino, 

With WWDC 2009 just around the corner a few things I would like to see have come to mind. 

First off like everyone else I would like to see a new iPhone with an improved camera, as well as a forward facing camera for iChat Mobile... Or something along those lines. Besides all the really talked about ideas, I myself as well as some others have come up with some interesting features we'd like to see.

How about a setting that allows you to turn off cover flow. That would be amazing. I hate scrolling through my music while lying in bed and it flips to cover flow. Being able to turn it on and off would be great.

Next I'd like this nifty little feature.. Hold down the home button for 3 seconds and the keypad comes up for dialing numbers. Not the phone app itself, but just the keyboard. I think this would come in handy for quick dials.

LOUDER SPEAKER! I can hardly hear my phone ring regularly let alone in a busy place.

A feature like Stacks in OSX. This would allow you to make a stack of apps for your games etc. You click the game stack and it opens a page of just your games, or at least something like that. This would allow the home screen to be much more organized.

Longer battery life would also be great. Especially with the tremendous increase in games available in the app store.

That pretty much sums it up for the iPhone. I would also like to see Steve Jobs back. That would be a nice touch.

Thanks and love always,

Ryan.
