A major, glamorous project that no one seems to be working on is text-to-speech. There is flite, but there should be some way of reading a text document, with a decent voice. I think this is important enough that someone at Nokia should be working on it -- I'm sure that Apple is working on an equivalent project. In many quarters there seems to be a misconception that this sort of thing is for blind people. I'm not blind; I just like to have my computer read to me. To do this now, I have to run Windows. If I had a Mac, I could run that. There is no decent reader in Linux (IMHO), which is where I spend most of my time.
