Roadmap
I will move the Roadmap to a voting system once we figure it out. Then am going to close this one.
Top Priorities

- Improvements to Sprite API
- MapView support (Android)
- Improved WebPopup behavior
- OAuth support
- Exposed table of active timers

- iTunes library support
- On-device debugging
- Misc. improvements to core API usability
- Page Flip
- Improved Text Fields
- New Corona UI Features
- Curve Fitting
- Object Fill
- Bezier Manupulation
- Procedural Graphics
- Fluid Dynamics
- Reconstruction of Arbitrary Topology using NURBS
- LOD Rendering for terrains
Your Requested Features
- Bon Jour
- Device IP
- BT Stack
- Timer pause/resume
- Apple Push Notification
- Local Notification
- OpenFeint for Android
- Tinting
- Access to bitmap data
Forgotten Ones
- Contact List (Address book)
- Email attachments
- Better XML parser
- Give Carlos a raise
- Live Wallpaper for Android
- Camera objects overlay (video, camera)
- Better Text Metrics
Now your feedback and please for my own sanity and yours, don't g firing all cylinders on me. lets keep this to features and lets refrain from diverging from the POV. Otherwise, I will be forced to close this thread.
PS: As soon as I can add that vote thingy I will incorporate it into the page. In the meantime, the +1 will suffice for now.
PSS: The voting thingy is not working out - in the meantime will continue to use this format.
PSSS: If you are interested in custom code, contact enterprise sales at Enterprise Sales

display.newText
I just began adding some text to my project and was suprised by the severe lack of settings for the textObject.
Seriously, the following really needs to be added as soon as possible. To just have options to change the text and textColor is not acceptable.
The following must be added:
* Alignment
* Kerning
* Leading
* LetterSpacing
* Underline
* italic
* bold
Also, the syntax "\n" doesnt work. The only way to get a multiline seems to be by settings the width and height of the textObject.

Can you add the box2d rope joint to the physics engine?
Thanks!

Image capture/cropping using display.save( )
It seems that many people have asked for the ability to crop an image, save a region of a display object to a file, etc (and no, a mask does not help). I personally need this so that I can take a preview snapshot of a level that was designed in my level editor.
There is a way to get display.save() to do this on the Windows simulator and on Android, but not on iOS. Here is a detailed description of the feature request:

Provide PPI/DPI so layout can work on all devices
Currently there is no way to get the PPI/DPI of a device from Corona (AFAIK). There are APIs on both Android and iOS that expose these values, and it should be easy to wrap a system.getInfo("DPI") around them. Here is my comment on a thread of this topic which explains this in more detail:
http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/08/19/detecting-dpi#comment-84258
The problem is that without this tiny little piece of information it's just about impossible to make an app using Corona that doesn't look like a "scaled up phone app" on any tablet that you run it on. This is a pretty big issue for me, or anyone who wants to run on lots of devices with different *physical sizes* (not just different resolutions of a 4" device).

I have a suggestion that
I have a suggestion that might be dumb, but might as well work out.
Would it be possible to "fake" the pinch to zoom with the mouse wheel? That would help out to avoid having to build the app to test that gesture.
Just a thought...

pinch/zoom
I actually posted some code in the code exchange a while back which lets you simulate that. The code library might be useful because it performs pinch-zoom with rotation but the test code on top uses multiple display objects to "track" the points of the pinch.

Since i bought Corona for about a month ago, i can now say that i will NEVER go back to flash again.
I come from a background as a flash developer and it took me no more than one day to feel that i could code Lua just as fluently as i code actionscript3. Im not kidding. I love lua and i love Corona!
Keep up the good work!

AUDIO CAPTURE (ANDROID) - please support .RAW format
Please, please, please, please fix Android audio capture so it supports .raw file format.
At present, regardless of the filename you specify for media.newRecording, it always encodes in 3gp
I really, really need .raw format so I can get at the data and perform post processing on it.
Even the Corona web page for Event Sounds, Audio Recording section, states: "The Android implementation supports raw and 3gp"
Please put it in!

ANDROID WIDGETS
And do not let forget native ANDROID WIDGETS.
I just imagine I could create a cool Widget for my latest game,
displaying a Highscore and other news.
Android Widgets are such a basic and unique Android thing.
It is really missing in Corona.
+1 Android Widgets!

Improvements to Physics API (friendlier collisions, etc.)
+1 for Physics improvements. Collisions is a big one.
I would also really like to see the physics debug draw renderer fixed when using scale/rotation. As soon as I do a pinch-zoom to see a little more of my world, the debug collision outline drawing is hosed (thankfully the physics themselves work fine, and the drawing bug is pointed out in the docs).

Collision Physics
Definitely Physics for Collisions needs to be repaired. It ruins all the fun in Game development when the physics engine is faulty.

It's time to update the roadmap
I think its time to sort out some of the features that have already been pushed and a list of some upcoming features.
Meanwhile we can request some features that are not in the list. ie: Physics engine improvement etc.
