I hope it can be done...
It will be great to see this kind of applications (cute and funny )
for our maemo.

We could think of some items that could add a little Maemo flavour/customize the app to take most out of the N900's features:

* Would be good if we could type on the keyboard and he'd talk them back to us using synthesized voice.

* Since we have more accurate screen input with the stylus for example, poking his separate eyes could be possible

* Maybe we could spin the entire character out by doing the "Spin to zoom" gesture we have in the browser (probably very hard to do?)

* Shaking and rattling the phone could also have an effect on the character

* Pressing camera shutter buttons and volume rockers could result in various reactions. For example, internal camera would show you when camera shutter is pressed, Carl could comment your appearance. Rocker up could make him go "Shut up!" and Rocker down could make him go "I can't hear you!", both expressions in varying volume accordingly.

Here's Talking Carl's official website:

How about we contact the develeoper himself?
carl[at]awyse.com

How about making it more higher resolution, I know that this an Iphone can't do for sure :D
