Brainstorm

You can see in this Presentation on Page 9 and 10, the MeeGo (Maemo 6 / Harmattan) Desktop will get one big homescreen you can scroll and flick totally free. When you rotate the Device the Desktop will rotate the same way, without much widget rearrangements.

It's a good Idea, and I like it. But it could get even better with some Ideas from us. :-)

Here the Presentation: Maemo 6 Technology Highlights

Maemo5 should fully support J2ME (MIDP 2.1). This will give the Maemo platform an edge and make it compete will with the Android OS.

For now for hardware keyboard languages there are only option to set two languages, and the default will be the language you set at preference. But some people still want to use english as default, as well some people would like to have more than 2 languages on hardware keyboard. And one of the biggest problems is the differents between official USA and other countries hardware keyboards (as lack of the keys in some countries arrows and some english layout keys are different from USA keyboard)

N900 could be used as a car video recorder to have proof in case of trafic incidents (like proof you didn't run a red light etc).  Also, the camera software needs to run in the background so other applications like Ovi maps can run in the foreground.

Requirements:

1. A car holder that does not obstruct the camera lens

2. The camera software needs an option to keep recording when not running in the foreground

3. The camera software needs options to be able to record in smaller resolutions.  Or, easier to implement and preferable, a wrap-around feature: record 30 minutes (user configurable duration) in file1, then record the next 30 min in file2, then overwrite file1 with the next 30 min and so on.  This way you would have a record of the last 30+ minutes at all times.
