My TweetDeck Wish List

I love TweetDeck, the desktop application for monitoring my Twitter feeds. However, there are a few things I'd love to see added or improved. Here's my wish list, in no particular order:

• New Followers Column: I'm starting to get a dozen or so new followers a day. Although I quickly look through them to make sure they have something interesting to say (and are therefore "follow worthy"), with over 1,200 people to follow they quickly get lost in the crowd. In iTunes I have a Smart Playlist of any song I've added within the past three months. This keeps new music from disappearing before it has a chance to grow on me.
• iPhone App (w/syncing!): Probably the best thing that would happen to me is if TweetDeck came out with an iPhone app. It would completely rock if it would sync w/my desktop TweetDeck so I didn't have to recreate my groups on my phone.
• Drag & drop into columns: The last update of TweetDeck made adding people to new groups easier, but it would be great if I could just grab an avatar or handle and pull it into a custom column like "Core" or "Mainer."
• See Older/Recover Tweets: This might be a Twitter API thing, but if I shut off TweetDeck and turn it back on lots of the tweets are gone. Sometimes all of them, other times just a few. I can see how to mark tweets as read, but how do I mark them as unread?
• Geo-targeted columns: I'd love to drop in a zip code, area code or lat/long and find all the tweets from that location. Would be especially cool for travellers to find out what other tweeps are stuck in Logan or LAX.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some other enhancements. What would you like to see added to TweetDeck? Auto shut-off so you can get back to work? Tivo like ability to pull random tweets that you might like to read?

Rich you missed the biggest one of them all! Improve the memory performance of TweetDeck! As I type this my Task Manager shows 180MB Memory used for TD!
