Image uploading is a very useful new feature. That and all the other improvements in this speedy release shows that the Gravity team are responsive to their users because a few of us requested this on their forums.

One feature that I would love to see introduced in the next version is some sort of integration with Riffly, Seesmic or Viddler, allowing form submitters to include a short webcam video of themselves - can you imagine any better way for submitters to confirm that they are who they say they are? Can you imagine how powerful that would be combined with BuddyPress?

It might sound complicated but should be reasonably easy to implement because those services' WordPress plugins already integrate webcam video into the comment submission process, inserting a token into the comment form which identifies the video the user has just shot. That video is then displayed in the published comment, surely it would be possible to adapt that and make the video visible when the admin checks the form entries?

My favorite of those video comment services is Riffly because they have a very simple one-button interface, they don't force the user to register before recording and they have an ad-free premium version. It is a pity that Automattic didn't include some sort of video comments functionality as part of their VideoPress product, as a blog owner I wouldn't definitely pay $60 a year for that.
