Show me the photos!

Just a quick post to
highlight one of the features we envisioned for the
Apple PDA a year ago...
The iPhone and iPod Touch hold all your favourite photos, their dock
guarantees that they will be sitting on your desk, facing you most of
the day.
They have nice, big color screens and are idle the majority of the time.
Doesn't it make sense to everyone but Apple, that they NEED to show
you those photos after they've been idle for a few minutes? They
should automatically start a slideshow of the photos stored in an
album called 'Favourites' or 'Docked' when they have been on the dock
for a few minutes.
In an ideal world the user could define their own 'Ken Burns' effects
like they can with iMovie.
What we've described isn't a huge change, its not going to sell
millions of multi-touch devices, but we think it would be a valuable
and interesting feature.
If there was a software ecosystem supporting multi-touch, these
'computer-putty' devices could reach their full potential.
