The usecase is automatic voice responder. When someone call me, the app should pick the call and plays some audio files based on the rules preset. Using this app I can tell the callers that "I am busy now" or "call me later" or "number not available (this is for telecallers promotion calls)"

This will be cool. It seems recaller app does the same in the other way. It records all the system audio. I think it may also be possible to play audio to the voice call.

It would be great to have a tweak to automatically launch the Music app when the earphones are plugged in. Preferably, there can be a toggle in the Settings>Applications>Music to enable/disable the feature.

Also it would be great to group windows by type or filter them.

* Introduce a picture-in-picture mode (suggestion proposed by MINKIN2), whereby a thumbnail of an application (inset app) is displayed while another app is displayed fullscreen (fullscreen app). This is very similar to PIP mode in TV sets, it enables to perform one task (on the fullscreen app) while monitoring a status within another app (the inset app). In this mode, only the fullscreen app receives user input, the inset app can only be watched running. It is possible to move the inset app thumbnail within the screen (by dragging the thumbnail), it is possible to make the inset app fullscreen (by tapping into the thumbail), it is possible to make the inset app bigger/smaller (by pinch-to-zoom within the inset app thumbail).

* Introduce "open application folders" the same way "application folders" will probably be implemented. An "open application folder" is a group of open application arranged in a certain grid layout (the same way applications are organized in folders). Once you are in an "open application folder" you only see the thumbnails of the apps within the group, or scroll through the open apps within the group. Open application folders are created exactly the same way application folders are, except we operate on and open applications thumbnails instead of application icons. I am not sure about the best way to go from one "open application group" to another: a swipe or maybe a zoom-out.

Harmattan has clearly a significant edge over all competition in this respect (some competition may even never catch up), but I still think that we should start thinking of improvements for the next iteration (granted there will be one). Here are some suggestions, I suppose people may have already formulated similar ideas:

*  Currently Harmattan supports a 3x3 or a 2x2 grid in the open application view, with controls of the apps disabled (you can only see the UI but not control it - please correct me if I'm wrong). I propose to add a 2x1 grid (only portrait) with controls *enabled*, which will effectively enable to have 2 applications running side by side. I believe a lot of applications would benefit from this layout (although I can't put my finger on any specific example) and it would be a real differentiator vs. all other platforms. Furthermore this feature would really benefit tablets (with bigger grids) where it is a shame to have a single app covering the whole screen as is currently the case. Access to this 2x1 grid would be through pinch-to-zoom.

I thought the pinpoint accuracy of the stylus would be put to good use in this situation. With just A pencil and an eraser and an option to jump to the next frame when your done with a light onion skin over the last frame to see where you left off.

 There is a Linux application called Pencil that I've downloaded on my PC and played around with.. It works great and well just like any animation software should. I thought something like that would be amazing on our little dream devices. 

 Thanks for listening.

How about a Remember the milk client for our N900 ?

It is a great productivity app to list and manage tasks.

As I see it, it would feature a widget with the main tasks diplayed per priority, name or due date (regular parameters on RTM).

Sync would be possible online. Actually one can subscribe through Google ID + Pwd (and I already use Google's agenda and contacts and Gmail as quite some people do; but it's a pain to sync).

What do you think?
