RSS reader should subscribe to multimedia too

Posted on 2009-10-14 18:35 UTC by Joseph Pingenot. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Internet & Networking.

Having an RSS reader is nice, but it strikes me that it should also be able to subscribe to podcasts and videocasts as well. The basice idea, then, is that you should be able to subscribe to a "resource" (be it text, video, or audio) in one, centralized application. Contrast this with the one-gui-application-for-every-resource setup we have, where you need to check 2 or 3 applications to keep up to date.

Make Internet Aware Application Support Network Proxy

Posted on 2009-11-01 05:42 UTC by Bobby Adesuyan. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Internet & Networking.

I currently own the Nokia N810 and found out that beside the Browser, Feed reader, and the Internet Radio app. No other Internet aware applications on diablo supports network proxy. Even the default IM application only works if you are using a direct Internet connection and will not work if you are working behind a network proxy. The OS its self allows for the user to setup a system wide proxy as part of setting up a connection profile. But most Internet aware 3rd party applications dont use it (or have embedded proxy support) The situation is very different on my Nokia E71 every applications (including 3rd party) work using the system wide proxy settings. It would be really cool if 3rd party application are developed to use the system wide proxy or embedded their own proxy support
 

voice commands

I really was hoping to get my main GPS navigator out of N900. Usage in car would greatly enhanced by voice commands, no text/tscreen touch needed. Same use of voice commands for e.g media player music would be welcome too

 

Wii-mote GamePad PS3 controller

Posted on 2009-10-29 11:15 UTC by Rüdiger Schiller. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Games, User Experience.

We have all hardware needed to create a N900-Wii-mote, and I'd like to have a N900-Wii-mote to not buy another Wii-mote for a third player... also I'd like to have the N900 as an universal game-controler for PC and PS3.

What would be a proper solution?
