I was just thinking that today. I got my N900 yesterday, and while browsing through the repositories i thought it'd be nice to have a program that uses the main camera, and overlays a ruler that changes scale based on the camera's distance sensor.

It's a real shame the N900 doesn't have a compass, as i was fiddling with my brother's iphone (yuck) and thought it wouldn't be hard to create a targeting program. Use gps to determine your location, tell it where your target is, and your muzzle velocity, and it'd tell you the azimuth and elevation required... Of course that could only be used for evil, so yeah. hah.
