support for sim toolkit (sms encryption)

Posted on 2009-12-15 03:51 UTC by Pavel Stratil. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Utilities.

Quoting wikipedia: SIM Application Toolkit (commonly referred to as STK) is a standard of the GSMto initiate actions which can be used for various value-added services.

So what are these value-added services? The most prominent would be sms encryption used by some banks to protect customer data sent over GSM. STK is supported in superold nokia bricks, as well as newest symbian/android smartphones. There's no reason why for example the n900 shouldnt support it.

Hardware: Battery Improvements

Posted on 2009-10-13 01:10 UTC by Mario Rojas. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Devices.

In the N8x0 series of tablets, the hardware receives its power from the battery, which in turn gets its power from the wall socket charger. Apparently, this design has not changed in the new N900 tablet. That makes the battery being used a lot, and also to force a shutdown of the device in order to replace the battery (no battery hot-swapping).

Getting average/mainstream user involved in product improvement

I don't know if it's already implemented this way or not, so sorry for being a duplicate if it is.

As far as I see, "Getting involved in product improvement" is mostly done actively by some enthusiasts and I think it would be great to get average/mainstream user involved in improving user experience with help from the OS & within the OS.

I also think that this would improve users' overall experience greatly about the product since average/mainstream user would like to see being taken care of / listened to when they need it.
