EVDO and HSDPA wireless support should also added as an optional feature.
This may require of course a new hardware release which supports one of the
cardbus formats on which the EVDO and HSDPA cards can be obtained. By way of
example, here is the url to a www page at the Linksys www site that shows
the new form factor, in this case for a gig-e card,  that goes under the
marketing name of "ExpressCard Adapter"


Well if would support it through bluetooth if the phone your
connecting to supports it.

 Hi Karoliina,

I would really enjoy seeing (As others have described) to be able to
have an arbitrary number of icons for the task bar and status bar,
perhaps with arrows to scroll through them.  Ditto on the idea to have
icons on the desktop/home screen to start applications.  First-class
support for keyboards is important so that it's not something that
mostly works and is an afterthought.  Things like the ability to set
the key repeat rate and a icon indicating a keyboard is detected on
the status bus, etc.
 Finally, it would be great to have a context menu for application
icons (that are running) on the taskbar to minimize, restore, go
full-screen, and close.

Thanks,
Larry Battraw

Hello,

Thanks for your feature proposals for Maemo Desktop so far.
I'll be collecting them next week, so please keep posting them over the
weekend.

I am glad to note that some of the proposed features are by the way
already being implemented to Sardine. But more on that later. 

Anything about the basic usability of Task Navigator & Status bar combo
for example. Would you like to see some other kind of arrangement or is
this current one good? Also how about the application switcher, would
you like it to be something different or are you happy with the current
one, if you would like it to be different, please describe how?

Please keep posting your ideas, your opinion does matter!

Best Wishes,
Karoliina
