Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 
This is not really an application, but more of an enhancement/feature request. It's for the camera application.

I'd like for it to have a business card scanner mode, where, when you snap one, it uses OCR to create a contact and asks you to confirm the details for the various fields.

I can't be the only person who gets given them, but when I need to call the person, don't have their details at hand as I haven't entered their details into my contacts.

Integration into the main camera application would be nice, if not then a separate piece of software would still be useful.

I'd like to have Spotbros in SailfishOS. It's the IM for mobiles app wich I like most.

Haven't all androids NFC today? I mean thats one reason to use NFC send contact cards by tap other phone. But yes OCR should also be there.

here is one example use of cover(sorry no sound but its an internetradio broadcasting app)

Its the apps that will kill Jolla, not the specs...

Really? I work for a 68000 person company, and whilst we do use Office Communicator extensively within the company , we have - let me just check - no requirement whatsoever for Lync on our corporate phones.

Hi all,
Been busy with other stuff lately.
Have checked in today, gone through the posts since my last visit and updated the orignal list accordingly.
I'd suggest people do a wordsearch or some such thing on the first post before posting suggestions to avoid duplication (and more work for me) but I thinkI asked that already ;)
