Hello Meego-Harmattan developers,

There is obviously some great talent in the developer community. We have seen some highly complex software for N9 recently including the Sigma Player, Track@way and Open Video Player. I do hope enthusiast developers will continue to support N9 with great apps.

Unfortunately there are some holes in the N9 app store in terms of certain apps which many general users will find useful. The following are in my humble opinion some of them.

1. Scientific calculator - the bundled calculator is just too basic with not even a sqrt function or brackets. I'm aware there is an AlmostTI emulation but it is too complex for most users with tiny buttons which are hard to press and the input syntax need some mastering.

2. Wi-Fi Analyzer - to display available wi-fi networks in the vicinity, their signal strength, channel no. and lock status would be very useful if you are looking to find the best reception or available network.

3. Wi-Fi File Transfer - ability to transfer files between device and PC using the wi-fi network. Using bluetooth for file by file transfer is too cumbersome and you can't specify the directory it will land in.

4. QR code scanner - QR codes are more and more common but the N9 still lacks the ability to read them.

5. GPS Parking - to fix your present location with GPS and directions to return to it later. Highly useful in metropolitan areas where one may have to park far away from one's destination.

6. Song recognition and lyric finder.

These apps are available in all other platforms including ios, Android, Symbian, WP7 and Bada except N9. As N9 becomes more mainstream I'm sure many users will be missing them. I'm certain it is not beyond the capability of developers here who can produce highly complex software. I'm appealing to developers here to consider them first before going for more esoteric and specialized apps.

Thanks and keep up your good work.
