System wide searching for Maemo 5 devices
Posted on 2009-11-23 03:04 UTC by Venomrush .. Status: Under consideration, Categories: System.
This idea came from the fact Maemo 5 devices are not able to search within the Email application.
Maemo 5 devices seems to lack a system wide search function.
The function will search in Messaging, Contacts, Email, Musc, Calendar and Bookmarks for a specific keyword.
This feature has been implemented for previous Symbian devices such as the N97.
It should work in both portrait and landscape mode.
Feature screenshot attached.

Ham Radio Software

I'd really like to be able to use the next Maemo device as a portable Ham Radio interface to my Yaesu FT-817. I believe it would be the perfect companion for mobile or remote operations.
UI wait indicator
Posted on 2009-09-23 02:18 UTC by alan bruce. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop, User Experience, System.
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.
