Music, Interrupted and Other Feature Gripes and Hopes

We're back with some more dips into the Twitterverse. And man, is that space large and growing. It is impossible to find everything people are talking about out there, which is our way of reminding you to follow us on Twitter (@missingmanuals), or comment below to share the Missing Features you'd like to see.

iPhone-related requests continue to dominate

Multi-tasking with Pandora What's better than an iPhone app? Multiple apps running at the same time.

We've been noticing a rise in requests for multi-tasking on the iPhone, with the online radio service Pandora being the common denominator. @pgkiran and @meg624 echo the sentiments of @kessler, who wrote "Really wish Pandora could run in the background on the iPhone. I want to listen to jams and tweet at the same time. Arghh."

Picture this The camera and accompanying software for the iPhone has motiviated some to ask for even more functionality. @samuelcotterall, after using CameraBag wants an iPhone camera that is more than 2 megapixels.
@coolgrljen wants to camera to have zoom.

Meantime, @jasonfried might have stumbled onto a business opportunity. "I wish you could order framed prints from iPhoto. Just a few simple frame options. Simple wood, simple metal. A couple colors. The basics."

Twitteriffic has a lot of fans There's many ways to tweet, but one popular service for iPhone users is Twitterific. While popular, people like @bobreturns (sync Twitterific to an iPhone and a Mac) and @forbetaorworse (make Twitterific "always scrolls to the most recent tweet") have some improvements. @ampersandee, would like Twitterific to help achieve a workaround to the lack of Flash support on iPhones. "Wish there was a *quick* way - in Twitteriffic on the iPhone - to send a tweet for later review on computer (eg. link to flash content)."

MMS and SMS Did you hear? iPhone now supports MMS. Well, kind of. More info on the workaround can be found here. We know @ev_rowe and @jonjeffry have been looking for an MMS solution.

On the SMS front, @devnulled appears to be looking for a magic undo button. "I wish the iPhone had a "cancel send" for SMS. The auto-correction always kills me on that last word."

While not an SMS request, @jchausse has an amusing take on auto-correction. "I wish iPhone's predictive spelling thing would realize I rarely write about fir trees, fir crying out loud."
