Brainstorm

As simple as it sounds!

Optical character recognition and business card recognition for N900;

• Why wait until you get home to digitize your documents when you can do it on the go?
• Why bother typing the names and details of your associates when a simple photo can do all the work?

With N900's great camera the only problem remaining is the coding...

Please fel free to share your thoughts on the matter.

Thank you!

The N900 uses a scrolly "Rolodex" or "odometer" style date picker for Tasks and Events. This paradigm, perhaps inspired by the iPhone and other "touch" devices, may be simple (i.e. it has no intelligence and was probably easy to code) but it is also inefficient (i.e. often requires excessive effort to reach the required outcome) and ineffective (i.e. doesn't address typical date picking requirements).

I enjoy the smooth three columns for inputting the From and To Dates for Calendar events.

However, I would much rather have an option to display a Monthly Calendar where I can navigate through different months and years and select day/date for the events. This way I can quickly set a deadline of exactly X weeks rather having to calculate which month and date the event should fall upon.

It would be very useful to have customizable virtual symbols with the keyboard besides the original symbols, or atleast virtual numpad.

It could look like the attached picture.

Search in contacts is limited to first name / last name and possibly nickname (when list configured by nickname).

A way to search the other fields.
