Nokia N900 Needs a commercial ebook reader

Posted on 2010-01-12 02:51 UTC by Hugh Caley. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Media.

There are currently no commercial ebook readers (an ebook reader that can read DRM content) available for the N900.  And we cannot rely on the old standby that any Linux program is potentially an N900 program since there is no commercial ebook reader for Linux either ;)

 

"Intelligent" Date Picker

Posted on 2010-01-14 02:26 UTC by Brad Grigor. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Office, User Experience.

The N900 uses a scrolly "Rolodex" or "odometer" style date picker for Tasks and Events. This paradigm, perhaps inspired by the iPhone and other "touch" devices, may be simple (i.e. it has no intelligence and was probably easy to code) but it is also inefficient (i.e. often requires excessive effort to reach the required outcome) and ineffective (i.e. doesn't address typical date picking requirements).

The default N900 application menu doesn't have categories for applications. After installing some applications it becomes a little cluttered. Hence, there are currently MyMenu and Catorize to help sorting things out, with sub-menus.

Video ringtone support.

Posted on 2009-09-22 15:47 UTC by Johannes Siipola. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Media.

Ability to select a video file as a ringtone. Similar to S60 devices where a video can be played on an incoming call.

Proposal:

User should be able to select a video file in the ringtone selection menu. Some simple settings such as "portrait" and "landscape" video orientation should be also included
