Brainstorm

(Originally posted at https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2725)

Maemo contains a nice instant messaging client based on Telepathy. Maemo devices also usually are paired with a mobile phone.

Now this pairing is mostly used for internet connection, but it could also be used for allowing SMS become "just another conversation" in the IM client.

The current implementation of the task switcher/menu button seems to be inefficient and inconsistent. (as seen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJKD4xdAZK8 at 1:10..)

• You need multiple 'clicks' to access the desired page (eg 3 clicks to reach the desktop from an open app)
• the ui flow seems to be unintuitive and inconsistent: How should I know that the BACKGROUND if the app menu is linked to the dektop?

Currently Fremantle has no access to common popular IM protocols, despite having an integrated SMS/IM "conversations" area.  The few protocols that are there are widly unused, while popular protocols (like YahooIM, AIM, ICQ, and others) are unavailable.

Newer Windows and now iPhone's version of macOS X have some heap/mmap/stack/base adresse randomisation built-in... (Yes, this is technical!)
