Add Printing option to the N900

Posted on 2010-01-26 21:50 UTC by Fadi Farah. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience, System.

The N900 is advertised as a mobile computer, and as a mobile computer it should be able to do a simple task like printing.  So this brainstorm is for us to actually think about how we could implement it on Maemo 5.

The brainstorm thread can be located here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37739&highlight=Printing

There's also a bug about this: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3099

 
 

Keep DEB for MeeGo

As discussed on this page I as part of the community do not see the technical benefit of switching to RPM. As this switch means rebasing to a completely different distribution and by this basically throwing the experience away that was gained during the last 5 years.

 

Improve Backup Application: Add scheduling options

The built in Backup Application in the N900 is great already but also has potential.

One possible improvement would be the addition of scheduling options to run automatic backups.

 

Automatic Keylock based on built-in proximity sensor

The idea is to use the proximity sensor to detect if the phone is inside a pocket.  

Somehow to replace the function of the lock slider with an automatic keylock function so the phone automatically locks when the proximity sensor is being covered, and automatically unlocks when the sensor is uncovered again

Also, When you make or receive a call, the automatic keylock deactivates.

If you are or was a symbian user, you may recognize PocketSensor that does the same job...

Anyone can do a little applet to allow this handy "feature"?
