A few of the app / utilities I would love to see in the repos once the n900 launches...
  • Ability to sync Google Contact and Calendar with the native applications.
  • Ability to create folders within the Applications folder (e.g Games)
  • Notifications client for social networks (Facebook / Twitter / Flickr / Linkedin etc), something which will notify me that there has been activity on my account and launch browser taking me to the service (More than just an RSS reader...)
  • Easy way of sharing content via WiFi. Run a web server on the device which can dynamically expose Contacts, Calendar, Media via a Webpages (PHP etc).
  • Ability to use device as a WiFi Modem. (e.g. MiFi)
  • Password support for Alphanumeric passwords

  • 3rd party community maybe. AFAIK not out of the box, not officially.

3rd party its possible to run a web server like Lighttpd or Apache. I don't think out of the box. The PHP frontends you mention don't exist either, and this all would lag the device, as in: why not let something else do the syncing, instead only offer the data?

  • Ability to use device as a WiFi Modem. (e.g. MiFi)
    • BlueTooth DUN is supported 3rd party (not out of the box). See also e.g. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=314240

  • Password support for Alphanumeric passwords
    • For WiFi or IMAP or...? Works right now. Why would this not work?

    Also consider to input your wishes in the following wiki page:

    Who should we hand it to, then?

    Works fine with "Mail for Exchange" aka. ActiveSync. Check out http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html

    Edit: (I.e. it works out of the box, you just need to configure it based on the S60 instructions from Google)

    Wifi sharing - think AirSharing on the iPhone, but better
    Skype with video
    Unity3D support - games or web client
    Nimbuzz
    VLC - a proper release... I HATE having to resample/convert video

    And I fully support the prior Evernote request.

    Now... I have more, but they mostly come from my use with my iPhone.

    On the N810, I use Fring. If it also makes its way to the N900, I'd use it there too, personally.

    Nimbuzz never got ported - and I'm personally not a fan of the web version via Maemo's browser. But lately, I've been using Nimbuzz via the iPhone and I know it would be better on Maemo 5 if done well.
