1. Full-featured GPS. Several of us have been looking at ways to extend Ovi Maps, including POIs, 3D view and voice guidance. Several ideas to improve voice guidance being thrown around at the moment, some with working results. Marble's coming along well, just needs better performance and voice. Crochik GeePS made a promising start. Mappero doing well. I just want one app that can do routing, voice, speed cameras, POI..everything that OVI Maps for Symbian can do.

2. Shazam. Yes Instinctiv has a similar feature, but its not being developed for Maemo at the moment. We've seen an early build of Shazam talked about, then nothing. I agree with someone else (sorry, didn't see name) that the database is limited in Instinctiv. There are several alternatives to Shazam, surely one of them can work.

3. Fixes to included apps (MicroB etc) and settings. Had several windows opened earlier, one apparently stopped responding, giving option to close it. Clicked no, yes, ctrl+backspace, power->end task. Modal dialog just wouldn't go. Ended up turning phone off, losing all open windows. Couple this with everyone elses gripes (hildon-desktop, power consumption) and this alone would be a major improvement.
