Brainstorm

Currently Contacts can not be searched by Company except if the contact First Name/Last Name/Nickname are empty

The N900 is advertised as a mobile computer, and as a mobile computer it should be able to do a simple task like printing.  So this brainstorm is for us to actually think about how we could implement it on Maemo 5.

The brainstorm thread can be located here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37739&highlight=Printing

There's also a bug about this: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3099

One of the challenges in using the N900 as a phone is that user interactivity with phone calls often has soft real-time requirements which application performance issues sometimes get in the way of.  This can be particularly bad when using services such as Google Voice or calling cards which require multiple interactions.

features could be:

- record to a mp3 audio file / *.aac  // kept directly on the device
- manage black/white list
- keep a quick overview journal
- direct on entry-press call back feature

impressions:

- Advanced Call Manager
- PhonePilot
- or just good old "answering machine"

On the maemo forums there seems to be alot interest in using the n900 as a desktop computer.

Currently the following features stop it being usable as one:

1. Lack of ability to connect to an external keyboard / mouse

2. Lack of ability to manage windows / the system from the external interface.
