Brainstorm

Currently, when the system (CPU) is under high load, the UI can become choppy and unresponsive. This can be irritating and confusing to users, who don't understand why the UI isn't responding as expected. On a desktop environment, an hourglass or clock appears on the mouse pointer to indicate that the system is "busy". Some other mobile OSes don't have to worry about this because they don't allow multi-tasking, but Maemo does, and there needs to be some way to indicate to the user that the UI is not able to repond normally.

about 27GB of the N900 internal flash memory are reserved for a VFAT (FAT32) partition which is mounted on /home/user/MyDocs and exported as USB mass storage.

You know that the birtyday of your mother in law  is somewhere in the coming 11 months or that you have some other important meeting. Looking through all events of the coming months may take some time... unless you can search for a calendar event.

The desktop flasher app should give the user an option to delete all user data and restore back to factory settings.  If the phone is ever sold or traded, sensitive information might fall into the wrong hands without this.

Hello everyone, So I was thinking about how to make the N900 user experience even easier while multitasking. Would it be possible to create a keyboard shortcut that will allow the user to switch between running applications? For example, you have these applications running in the dashboard: 1) Web browser 2) Conversations 3) File manager When clicking CTRL+1 it would go to Web browser. CTRL+2 Conversations etc This shortcut is just an example. Let me know what you think so we can create a brainstorm.
