2. People like feeling special with their tech, at first it was enough to have an iPhone, but since everyone does now (in the US at least), being special is now about having the newest, coolest app... and this sells!
So is our current problem that app manager is too complicated and not user friendly, has no rating or feedback system? - then yes I agree, and i would be happy to help with a replacement from a usability / information architecture perspective (pm me)

People are amazed when i show how i have AIM, MSN, Skype and Yahoo all running, not is some stupid app, but rather just as part of the contact and that all those messages are threaded with my sms's (now if we could get email integration we would have something amazing.. kinda like Gwave,

Im not sure if anyone used the lifeblog in s60, it could have been a really cool tool if it was simplifed... Incorporating this into the threaded conversation with photo tagging and suck... it could really be amazing.
