My Two Suggestions

I would like to suggest two things:
1) For the networking, please add Facebook, Twitter, and possibly, MySpace; along with GameCenter and other Gaming Networks (OpenFient, etc)
2) iPhone Frameworks such as Camera, Geo location, etc.

I'm pretty sure that the second suggestion will never be implemented, as those are iPhone-only features. One of GameSalad's goals is to be as cross-platform as possible, and features like the gyroscope, compass, camera, and microphone are only in iPhones, not the iPods or iPads.
I would love to play around with them too, but I don't see it happening.
Well, for the second one, I think I found a solution:
When the user clicks on "New Project", a screen with the following options (text and images):
iPhone / iPod Touch
iPad
Droid
Other Mobile Devices To Be Included
Universal
If the user selects the iPhone / iPod Touch option, then GS would enable the iOS frameworks. If the user selects "Universal", then GS disables all the OS-Dependent frameworks.
Having Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace included would solve the issue of OS-Dependent Game Networks; as FB, MY, and Twitter are not OS-Dependent.
These frameworks would be behaviors. Ex: The "Tweet Score" Behavior would execute the the twitter code, and so fourth.
Thanks again.
