Brainstorm

Reference Discussion at t.m.o: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=30395

As noticed here here, http://my-symbian.com/other/preview_n900.php?page=4, the build-in PDF Reader application has several problems.

1. No kinetic scrolling

This is a huge usability issue. The whole rest OS uses kinetic scrolling exlusively and that makes the PDF Reader inconsistent with the rest of the applications. It also seems to use stylus-sized scrollbars that makes it hard to use it with fingers.

2. No portrait mode

Yes, this has been discussed many and many times over. But since picture viewer supports the portrait mode, why doesn't this application`?

3. No scrolling to another page

User needs to use the dedicated page-changing buttons to change the page. Why the page cannot simply swipe or scoll to next page when you reach the bottom?

4. No search

Searching should be integral part on any application that processes text.

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.

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.

Intro:

As you may or may not know the default headset coming with N900 doesn't support play/pause, next/forward, and volume up/dn and neither does N900 support other nokia headsets.

The idea is very simple:

A control panel applet that recognizes the input from the buttons of your wired headset and translates them into actions.
