Bridge the gap between Modest and competing smartphone email clients

Posted on 2010-04-05 19:23 UTC by Christian Sarrasin. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Internet & Networking, Utilities, User Experience.

If Maemo/Meego is to be a serious contender in the business/smartphone arena, a decent email client should be an integral part of the offering.  Compared to other platforms, such as Blackberry (obviously), but also the iPhone or even S60, the Maemo email client is seriously underpowered, even for mundane tasks.

Camera "burst mode" or series of photos

Posted on 2010-04-07 03:21 UTC by Mathias B. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Media.

In addition to the "Camera timer for taking timed shots" brainstorm, I miss another feature I used to have in my ancient Nokia N80. There seems no possibility to take more than one photo at a time. Each picture needs separate user action.

Setup new Talk Moderator Structure.

Talk has been out of control for some time and most of the regular helpful posters have left it.  It is slowly getting worse and everyone is complaining about it.  There are atleast 1 or 2 posts a week claiming an update is out and they run for a few hundred posts before the next OMG update post comes out.  There are fake claim 19 page posts talking about porn.  On top of personal insults, attacks, and flaming like I have never seen on Talk.  I think most people will agree something needs to be done before talk is to far gone to save.

Citrix client

Posted on 2010-04-08 09:25 UTC by David Martel. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Office.

Citrix is a way of remotely connecting into your work and being able to run applications as if you were in the office.  A Citrix client would be a great enhancement for business use of the N900, the high res screen and keyboard make it an ideal mobile client device.

There are currently several mobile clients for other devices, and there has been reports in the forum that the arm build is installable, but it is not really usable.  Unfortunately I believe it is closed source, so it is difficult for the community to find a solution without help.

Location based reminders

Posted on 2010-04-09 05:21 UTC by Reto Bachmann. Status: Waiting, Categories: Location & Navigation, Utilities, User Experience.

I would like to bind alarms/reminders to a geo location rather than (just) to a time. I should be able to have a set of spots I visit regularly and be able to set an alarm that goes off the next time I'm near a selected spot. Also I should be able to set an alarm that goes off the next time I'm back at the curent location.

Usage scenarios:

  • Remind me to buy a tooth brush next time at the supermarket
  • Remind me to take my bicycle when I'm back here
