What, users are supposed to provide their own space ship? I won't be buying any such device unless it comes with a Sub-Etha Sense-O-Matic transceiver!

But a SEP field is required...

What I want to see most... a way to trade in my 770 and N810 for the N900. Heck, extend that offer to the community first.

Ok, admittedly that _would_ work, kind of :)

With in the realm of possibility, the front face has a diagonal of 5.7 inches, so it's really "just" a matter of reducing the bezel.

I'd like Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11n, USB charging (would prefer to eliminate the "standard" port, but would settle for being able to charge via the USB port in addition to the standard), hot swappable batteries (capacitor for the interim), inductive charging (palm pre dock style), a secondary EInk display, solar charging integrated into the hard cover (yes I want a hard cover like my 770 has), diversified model line including models with and without keyboards, a pico projector...ummm, oh yes, and I'd like the battery to be one of the newer lithium ion chemistries that charges in 2-3 minutes instead of hours. As an aside, to everyone who po-pos the pico projectors being integrated into phones or IT or MIDs, the killer app for phones with pico projectors has got to be head up display on the windshield, of say google maps (or your mapping program of choice), GPS enabled of course. Anyways, when is it showing up?!??!?!

They use the compass for the direction, not the camera. Hey, if I knew the N900 spec would make this possible, I would have already made such an app (likely slow and bloated, but still ;) ) when QGil first suggested it last year. Without compass, with just accelerometers and a camera it would be quite a feat.

I reckon the star map matching/recognition bit is the most interesting aspect, but then I like DSPs too... ;)

Still, I would get ready for an online virtual world that you interact with from the real world on a mobile device much like this Star Droid with Google sky.

Can you imagine standing in a field @ Gettysburg or Waterloo, pointing your device at a farmhouse and them having an overlay come up on your browser with relavant facts and additional sites linked to it?

Can you also imagine millions of tourists, by using such an app, giving Google permision to send relevant adds to their device based on their reported location like "and right arround the corner is La Pate Et Ose"? :)
