Tumblr iPhone App Wishlist

I want a Tumblr iPhone app that lets me…

  • View the Dashboard in an iPhone-optimized layout.  Unfortunately, I think only Tumblr staff can create this feature since they don’t expose Dashboard data through the API (which is a big mistake and the reason the Tumblr API hasn’t really taken off like Twitter’s in my opinion)
  • Post photos directly from the iPhone camera or camera roll without having to send them to some weird email address.
  • Post audio that I record live from my iPhone (ex. record a song at a concert or post a voicemail for my Tumblr followers while on vacation).
  • Post video that I record from my iPhone (question: why are there no apps that let you record video - jailbroken phones had that functionality).
  • Listen to Dashboard audio posts as a playlist (see the Pandora app as an example of the interface).
  • View Dashboard photo posts as a full-screen slideshow.
  • Include an optional location message with each post from my iPhone (ie. append the post caption with “Sent via iPhone from <current location>” where the address links to a Google Map).
  • View posts submitted by other Tumblr users from a location near me (based on the opt-in location sharing above)

Make it so, Lazyweb.
