Why a new app: I really liked your DC and wanted to create something like it for more than just maemo. I know DC is python and so can probably run on more platforms than I could manage with just QT. Nevertheless, I think the competition will be good healthy fun.
Why not contribute to DC? : Of course I can... and I most probably will once I figure out how to do things - but I'm not a python coder and even though it has been fairly easy to learn it, I prefer to use the language of my choice - C++ and Qt.

Auto-accept: I know this problem - I've hit it last week. I'm hoping my experiments using telepathy-qt4 will help me solve it. If I do, I'll try making the python code as well. My code is also up for review.

Why faster: I cache some information - which means I have lesser network traffic - which should mean faster performance.
I decided not to cache things between runs because I was concerned about user perception. If they launch it, they would probably expect things to at least be up to date as of the launch and would get confused if the data is stale.
I figured/hoped that they would understand the concept of refreshing things once loaded.

Oh and about Voicemail support. With TOR I added to my GV API the ability to get the voicemail. I've been planning to make it so that Maemo would ask you to download the voicemail if you've gotten one. Contemplating this for DC what I would probably do is add a "Play" and "Save" button to the window that opens when you click a voicemail. I would hope I could have GStream stream directly from the GV site but unsure about permissions. I've been busy with some other audio apps and my Qt ports to work on this.

I'm a bit new to userland programming - most of my work has been drivers or bootloaders and my experience with user code have generally been harrowing - with the exception of QT.
Unless otherwise proven, qgvdial should be at least as fast as DC.
Playing it directly didn't work for me through the media player nor through qtm-mediaplayer.
Since qtm-multimedia uses gstreamer as backend, it should be possible to add the gstream play to DC.

Bummer, I will not be holding my breath waiting for QT 4.6 and the qt mobility framework for N800/N810.

Can't compete there.

Qt has been driving me nuts so far compared to GTK but oh well (but at least its not MFC or the other stuff I have to deal with at work).
Good luck with things and I've love some DC contributions

I would like to offer the option on my application to place calls using your dialer. Did you create or plan to any dbus interfaces that would allow me to start the dialer passing a phone number to place a call?

Your idea is interesting in the sense that just providing a dbus api will be a good stop-gap solution.
However, the "future" for all plugins like this will almost certainly be either telepathy or qtmobility based (or both).
That doesn't mean dBus will be ignored - telepathy depends on dbus. dbus is too "low level" an API.
I'll keep it in mind when I start coalescing some classes into a plugin form.

I don't know why this happens - I'm still learning debianization.
There is a workaround: I have always installed on my n900 from xterm:
sudo gainroot ; dpkg -i qgvdial<whatever>.deb
I'll look into why the app loader barfs on my deb.
