I’d never hire a psychiatrist to tell him about my iPhone issues, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have any.  We’ve all got some things we’d see be different on the Jesus phone, but Jobs isn’t doing anything about them yet.  Hopefully, pleasefixtheiphone.com will be able to help change that.

The site allows visitors to post what they think they’d like to see change about the iPhone.  Then, viewers are able to vote on which issues they agree with.  Example:  #1 on the list right now is Lack of MMS support.  If you agree that’s it one of the top issues, then you simply click the “Me Too!” button to add to the complaints.

If you don’t see an issue, then you can add one.  Check it out here!

Some people out there might’ve been waiting for this one.  Google Earth has landed at the App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch.  It’s easy to use and at times, you might not even need network access.  The overscope can be accessed without the internet, but if you’re trying to zoom in on an area, then that’s only possible if you’ve accessed it before and the cache is still on your phone.

8 million geo-located Panoramio photos. iPhone-equipped travelers now have the opportunity to see where they’re headed before they get there — minus the people.  Plus, in certain areas, there are Wikipedia logos that you can click on to go straight to Wiki articles that relate to the location.  If you tilt the iPhone, you enter a 3-D mode that’s really fun to look at when you’re high sleepy.

The app is free and available now at the App Store

With all this talk about the G1 releasing tomorrow, the iPhone’s been getting pushed to the backburner.  It doesn’t mean that the takeover is not occuring.  Take the Malibu Beach Inn for example.  They’ve just integrated iPhone/iPod Touch usage into their room service.

The Malibu Beach Inn is actually giving each guest a loaner iPod Touch for the duration of their stay so that they can access a web app made especially for Safari.  The app allows guests to do an assortment of things, including ordering room service, schedule a wake-up call, requesting luggage, or even renting a limo.

They’ve avoided the long arm of the Apple certification process and have even made it so the app will be compatible with other devices in the future.

Reports are coming out on what the next iPhone firmware update will bring.  With Android letting loose and showing off its Google Maps Street View skills, it was on right that Apple fire back with an update that could bless iPhone users with the same.

On top of that, the new update will also give users the option to turn auto correction on or off for misspellings.  No word on when the firmware will drop but developers have already gotten the beta version, so it shouldn’t be too long, right?

Leave it to the Obama campaign to make an iPhone app that does more than most of the other apps in the Apple Store.  You like repping the man of change, when you don’t know anything about him?  Well, don’t worry, because this app’s got everything you need to convince your Independent neighbor to vote for Barack next month.  Check out the features and images below.

Features:

Griffin’s been making accessories for Apple products for quite sometime, making them pretty good at what they do.  Hence the reason we chose their Clarifi case as our favorite iPhone case.  The built-in close-up lens really caught our eye and the fact that the shell’s not cheesy really helps.

Slide the Clarifi lens into place over the built-in lens of your iPhone. Your macro and close-up shots are instantly finer in detail, more accurate in color. With Clarifi’s lens, your iPhone can image an entire business card with astounding clarity. Slide the lens aside for normal photography. WIthout Clarifi, iPhone requires about 18 inches to focus properly. Slide Clarifi’s lens into place and you can move in to 4 inches for crisp detail and great pictures.

We thought this day would never come.  T-Mobile’s given an official date on when they’ll be showing off the highly-anticipated Google Phone.  T-Mobile USA is set to unveil it alongside Google next Tuesday at a news conference in New York.

The G1 phone, which is being manufactured by HTC, doesn’t hit stores until October, but T-Mobile’s ready to let loose about the Android-packed gadget.  We might even hear about the price (crosses fingers).  T-Mobile’s the first carrier to market the phone and expect others to follow suit.

They haven’t gotten as much exposure as they’d hoped but when you’re competing with Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s Blackberry line, it’s a cold world out there.

Google’s not worried, though.  They want their services on all cell phones, including their ad services.  Of course Google’s already created the software to do that.  We’ve heard about the Android app store that will rival that of the iPhone.  Rumors are though that it won’t have Microsoft Exchange Server, which will make things a little tough for Google, if they want to enter the cell phone market with a full head of steam.

Google showed off the handset at a developer conference in London on Tuesday.  Next week, Google and T-Mobile should start to reveal whether Android will live up to the hype.

Is this what we’ve been waiting for or will the same thing that happened with the 2.0.2 update repeat?  Only time will tell, that’s for sure.  Firmware 2.1 is set to release this Friday, and with the nice round numbers, it seems that it’s going to be an extensive update.  The update is suppose to give us less dropped calls, less crashes, better battery life, and faster syncing with iTunes, something that’s plagued the 3G iPhone since it was released.

Of course, we still won’t be happy, because what we want is copy and paste capabilities, maybe multimedia messaging, and true GPS navigation.  We’ll have to wait for firmware 2.8.9.2.5.4 for that we’re guessing.

Yes! This is the information that every iPhone hater’s been waiting for.  Yesterday, Google released the 0.9 beta version of Android to developers.  This version is said to have close-resemblance to the real deal non-beta version coming in the next few months.  November seems to be the month of interest right now, but the first GPhone may not come with Exchange.
