IPhone App. Not what I expected

I waited and waited. I then waited some more. The IPhone app was delayed getting out. I even posted on it's delay in a previous blog. Then it finally arrived with the release of Dolphin 7. Woohoo. We were ready to rock!

Or were we?

I have to say I am not at all impressed with the functionality of this application. I mean, what does it really do?

1. You can view/change your status message
2. You can map your location? I pretty well already know where I am at.
3. You can send/receive site mail
4. You can view/delete people from your friends list
5. You can look at your photos or delete them if you wish
6. You can perform a perfunctory search

That's it. Depressing. At the very least, I expected my members to be able to interact with the other members on the site using it. Outside of the mail function, there is no way to communicate with or add content to the site using this application. Whats the point? Was it done just to prove it was possible?

Some of the things I was hoping to be able to do and were very important to me and the development of my site.

1. Upload photos from my IPhone to my account on the site.
2. Upload videos from my IPhone to my account on the site.
3. Chat with other users via the shoutbox on the front page.
4. Perform some basic administrative duties like being able to change/activate a users status.

In the end, total disappointment has set in. I see virtually no reason to even push this app as it provides very little functionality outside of the mail service. To me, it provides no usable or promotable experience to the Dolphin environment. Maybe I am wrong. If I am, please step up and tell me what I am missing but I have spent a good amount of time playing with it and it's just boring.
