Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

How can we make maemo more attractive to women. What female friendly apps can we suggest to be developed. Lets see what we can come up with.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

cant take credit for this but how about a magic mirror app using the front facing camera.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Sure we can!

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Do the apps need to be extremely stereotypical? ;)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

no not at all. but we should take in consideration what a women might want.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Hello Kitty and buttons for sin, cos, tan. Worlds collide! :)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

How about an app to remotely taser your husband if he's spending too much time in the basement reading all the Maemo Talk posts.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Two suggestiosn:

1.) Give it to Kylie and see what she thinks. I'm 33 1/2 years old, and the only time in my life that I decied to buy a Microsoft product was when Kylie (4 1/2 years old) recommend it.

2.) This one has good points as well (good texting abilities and silvery back cover for checking mae up).

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Mission impossible I would say ;)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

agreed. we are the women on this site. lol. the hello kitty ideas are really good. even though they werf meant in humor. my female cousins love those types of things.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

How about an app that randomly flashes the message "BUY STEAK & BEER" ?

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Seriously, some female oriented wallpapers would be nice (!=gayporn).

How is the responsiveness of the touchscreen and UI interface for fingernails, anyway?

And apps for social networks, email and MSN (or other IM systems)

Make a orkut application, and the N900 will be the best seller phone in Brazil for sure.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

How about an app that keeps a database of all her clothes (I think the 1Gb app limit would have to be increased :) ) and she makes on the n900 what she wants to wear (the next day, for example)? It could keep track of what she had so she wouldn't repeat the clothes for a month...

These ideas come to someone who has a wife that loves clothes. ;)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

great idea. would be killer if it tied into a shoping app.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

LOL Morripopp wanted to text in LANDSCAPE on the iPhone but couldnt.

You girls will be spoilt, going horizontal :D

kylie could sale heroin and not get arrested.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Is this by any chance a serious topic?


A to B: "Heeey! Don't run that program its a gurls program!
*The society knew B crime and left him alone to die with his shameful crime ...
B:"In his willing letter: I am leaving all my money to firefox and to everyone else, I though I started firefox , I am sure it was firefox... firefox not IE!"

I am bad with this :P

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

In that case, seeing as all the app suggestions are stereotypical, what's the point of this thread?
I mean, I can't see any N900 application having any less utility for a woman as it would a man.

Although, that said, here's an idea:
"Time of the month" tracker. Stereotypical again, but I know some girls who actually did find this sort of app useful on their phone. (Man, I've heard some weird conversations... :/)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

actually that sounds like a good idea. i dated a girl that had a book of some sort tracked her cycle.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

shouldn't joke about these things.

Whilst looking locally for a PSP screen protector for my N810, cos the wiki says it'll fit, I came across ones which act as a mirror when the PSP is switched off!

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

I had some collegues at work, who used to track their female manager's "moods", so they had some warning, and could plan when to be out of the office.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

I have seen at least two girls with Nokia Communicator and one with 7710. So, the target audience may feel a little differently about have-it-all ugly bricks than what everyone assumes.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

horoscope widget
affinity between guy and gal based on horoscope, biorythm, whatever
shopping list app that actually is simple
make a photo of your face and do makeup on screen with familiar fards, eyeliner, lipstick, whatever, or change hair color
supersimple internet radio (click icon to start/stop)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Seriously, there are some sophisticated apps for this purpose with advanced tracking features.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

are there any on maemo?

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

AFAIK not yet.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

totallyher.com/totallyhers-top-10-iphone-apps-for-girls/ found this site listing the top ten iphone apps for women.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

I think the idea for a widget to use the front camera as mirror might be valuable for box sexes: gents please check for spinach on your teeth before dates. ;)

The menstrual calendar app is popular in other platforms, and could be useful for some women on maemo. Equally, a 'pill reminder' might not be a bad idea. If any gentlemen want to take those ideas forward, I have no programming skills but am completely unembarrassable if you need someone to talk you through what's needed.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

A Who your real friends really are app would be cool. It gives Karma ratings to everyone in your contact list, and organizes your contact list accordingly.

Actually this would be quiet good for blokes as well:rolleyes:

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

I had the impression (possibly quite wrongly) that n900 arranges your initial contacts view according to 'most frequent' or 'most recent' contacts anyway, and you have to browse for the less regular contacts. I could be wrong, of course.

Not sure awarding contacts 'karma' on my own phone has much value: the point of stuff like that is to reward or punish your contacts, by them knowing they are no longer your 'Best Friend' (as I understand the girlie mind - if my mind were the classical girlie variety, I might not be here...)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

How about just mirror (not familiar what this magic means). Girls use mirrors to put lipstick/eyeliners etc (in bus, in bar, in work). So this app would remove the need to have separate mirror in girls handbag. Thus make handbag smaller and lighter. And maybe N900 can offer mirror like feeling with that resolution (not sure about the front camera thought)?

Of course we are getting make-up industrys hatred because now they cannot sell those 20e/20bucks style-mirrors anymore.

And version 2.0 would order new lipstick automatically after 30 use or after 15 min use or when it is ending (or course the app could figure out what make-up thing is used and how much). Or suggest newest lipstick 'model' (advertising!) when current one(s) are ending (sorry beforehand - I'm new in this site so don't really know how you are reacting to commercial ideas)

At the end app knows the way this particular girl uses hers make-up things and we could profile her and use that information somehow to help this girl make different/better make-ups. And thus lighten up our guys world also. Win-win :)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

My experience suggests that most men prefer girls to wear less make-up, not more. ;)

But a pocket mirror is actually a good idea: I just added it to the 'widget suggestions' thread. :)

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Very true. But I really didn't say that more make-up is better. Maybe the app version 3.0 could suggest that "hey girl - now there's too much" (altought we are getting in very dangerous subject - if the app are suggesting wrong things at the wrong time of a day or month or ... bad things could happen) :D

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

As far as the "time of month" app, I would note that there are several stages to that particular cycle and different women (and men) would be interested in different aspects. In addition to tracking menstruation, some couples are looking to optimize fertility and others (if their are any strict catholics left) infertility. If anyone does try to write this, I would suggest doing some research into various vital signs that could be tracked.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Well a phone spammer that calls me all the time would get a nice negative karma. Especially if its that Ba****d that I just dumped last week.:mad:

A few ideas that, if implemented, would assure my wife takes permanent possession of my N900:

• an easy-to-use Delicious Library-type application that:
  • uses lardman's work on barcode scanning via the camera to help catalogue her collections of console video games, movies, CDs, and manga
  • notes which games she's loaning to her sister & provides the full list on demand
  • provides a quick link from each game to the appropriate pages on GameFAQs
  • searches Amazon automatically as she enters wanted items to suggest matches
  • automatically pushes wanted items to her Amazon wishlist
  • periodically checks Amazon for the most up-to-date release dates for wanted manga and updates countdown home applet accordingly
  • additionally catalogs collectible cards and helps build and submit saved searches on eBay for the missing items
• a weather applet with not just the n day forcast, but also pollen & mold spore counts, allergy/ozone warnings, animated radar image, etc. (Weatherscan Local in an applet essentially, if you're familiar with that television service)
• an easy-to-use application that collects all the scans from a selected series on OneManga and assembles them into an ebook for off-line viewing
• an applet that watches TechBargains for printable Borders coupons
• a Belltower-type applicaton, but for Art Nouveau architecture
• a web comic (specifically: Penny Arcade, MegaTokyo) notifier applet
• one or more Japanese-style RPGs, either original creations or games new to the U.S.
  • bonus points for convincing, say, Square or Atlus to release a game on Maemo
  • super bonus points for reforming Working Designs and getting a new, expanded revision of a Lunar game on Maemo
• infinity bonus points for convincing Gravity to create and maintain a Maemo client for RagnarokOnline

Actually, forget that last one. Mobile data is too expensive, and my kids need a mother.

Oh, and this is important: make none of it pink.

If you're male, you've just been excommunicated. :p

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

maybe it says things like you are the most beautiful of them all. or it shows a new hair do for you to try out.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

these actually sound great in genereal.

Re: Can we make more attractive for girls.
 

Not a girl, but just had an idea for the mirror application. How about a mirror with zoom capabilities (to spot blemishes/whatever on face)?
I know girls are really good at spotting details on their faces already, so I'm not sure if this is entirely useful. :p
