Many thanks for asking, I will like to request, following (some in progress) for N800 in stable versions: 1. Newer Pan news-reader port, Pan 0.12x http://pan.rebelbase.com/ (one available is a currently (older) non-maintained port of Pan 2. Elinks, text web browser - text based browsers are best friends at times. 3. Epiphany, Firefox & GNOME based web browser since minimo seems out of maintenance for now. - basic reason is for the choice of an alternative browser 4. tin - text news-reader - Pan port might take some time, 5. Phone addressbook/sms/dial sync tool, maybe - gnokii - none available as of now. 6. GAIM instant messenger - there are more chat protocols to support 7. Snapshot/Video application - none available as of now. 8. Multisync/Opensync support - maybe a Nokia suit for Windows based on Opensync framework would be a nice effort for future cross platform compatibility and help to Opensync cross platform development. Nokia & their users should benefit all the way and while that Linux desktop users have hopes for making sure their Nokia 770/n800 devices can sync. 9. Plucker support - FBreader is there but perhaps Plucker for Palm is the best, if its possible to re-write plucker for Linux/n800 that will be the best, else FB reader has lot to improve yet. - Oddly enough sunrisexp works better for plucking documents from web, then plucker-desktop (just to mention) - Perhaps still adding a functionality to quickly pluck document for later off-line reading is a nice feature app to suggest, that should add value to these devices and saves users on airtime + battery consumption 10. B/W mode for ebook mode if at-all possible with the hardware. - good for reading long web-pages & plucker/e-books, saves battery & eye sight of user. 11. Integrated device data encryption options & self destruction of data upon brute-force attempts, like on Palms 12. Revelation or gnome-keyring encrypted password data management I hope you'll find these useful.
