Brainstorm

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.

Not sure how you do a zoom in the n900, but normally you have buttons with coarse grain zooming. Lots of button presses to get to how you want the picture to look for a crop or just to get to the detail you want.

With the device's accelerometer it would be possible to move around in the web page by tilting the device left-right and back/forward. This can't of course be a default function, but needs to be triggered somehow.

The current menu is very limited and does not allow the user to rearrange the menu icons. I know the deskop is said to repace the menu at the most part, but this is still a very severe limitation.

When an alarm goes off (clock or calendar) the volume is set to max. In the case of the alarm clock, you can't specify the tone of the alarm either.
