From Openmoko
I'm a Swedish minimalist and (mostly web-related) coder that's very fond of openness and freedom.
Random thoughts and would-bee-coolness
- Option to have icons instead of list in Today applauncher
- Combined sms & im-app with im-style layout
- I want Phun with "gravity follows accelerometers"-option
- Accelerometer-based aiming/rotating for games like
- Tetris
- Frozen-Bubble
- Digital compass! (Replacing one of the accelerometers optionally)
- Imagine all the self guiding robots and stuff you could build!
- The irl-packman discussed on the ml's
- Notification Service
- for Push-like "you can now pull mail/im/whatever"
- ISDN-card or GSM-card or a Neo
- The Notification Service calls your neo and hangs up after one signal
- Phones should be configured to ignore the call and then pull mail/im/whateveryouwant
- Externally accessible SD (not µ) slot.
- Possibly hidden by back cover, so one can change card without pulling out the battery.
Hardware
Some phones that seem nice. Would be nicer with OpenMoko on.
- HP iPAQ 614
- Keypad
- ipod'ish scroll wheel
- Touch screen
- HTC Touch Dual
- Touch screen
- Slide-out 20-key QWERTY keyboard
- Would buy if OpenMoko would run on it.
- LG Viewty
- Touch screen
- 5 MP camera
- Nokia 6500 Slide
- Least crappy modern Nokia phone
- Neonode N2
- Very nice UI. UI-devs should take a look
Simple mode
Who → How → What
Instead of the face-grid-browser there could be a list with face + name. That would also be better for non touch screen phones. This can also be a submenu under Contact someone.
