I still prefer to remap the camera key when it is not used, because we can do this with the N900 without any extra buttons or Hardwaremodifications.

I don't have the actual device yet but it works in scratchbox. Currently the key is F10 (not sure which key the actual camera key maps to).

The keypress gets eaten by my app so no other application can receive it. The app is obviously not ready to be packaged just yet, but it should prove that this is possible I'll try to make this into a real application once I receive my device.
Alright, this now works on the real device with the camera key. Light press (focus) takes you to the dashboard when the lens cover is closed. Now it just has to be properly daemonized & packaged.

Jeah... GREAT!

Now I only need a N900!

Please create a nice GUI with the posibility to configure the usage of a half pressed camera button and full pressed.
I will prefer half pressed camera Button for Taskmanager and full pressed for Desktop.

And then I only need your PayPal Account for the donation!

THANX!
