One word: Shazam.
It's almost the only thing I can't do that my wife can do. I'd like it if the wi-fi sharing app didn't practically say "I CAN MAKE ALL YOUR PRETTY FUNCTIONALITY GO AWAY," but I *need* Shazam. I can make due with tethering on the internet sharing.
The only other thing I need is a portrait mode QWERTY keyboard for SMS, contact searching and web browsing (which I do in Opera now, but it's not full release).
You make my phone able to recognize songs, and I'll ... well, there's no telling how grateful I'd be.

Ah, here from my review ...
... with the amazing help of Dave Smith and the gang at talk.maemo.org, I now have all my calendar and contact information regularly synchronized with my MacBook Pro via the Unofficial N900 iSync Plugin, a work of love and community that makes me so happy I could wet myself. All done without ever trusting a single bit of data to the cloud. Eat me, Android! On the laptop side, it’s sad that what Palm Desktop did in one application takes probably three to do otherwise. Still, upgrade that grade for the N900 to “A-” for PIM and compatibility!Links and all on my blog. Hope that helps!

Not so much an app but a widget, like dataplan monitor, but to monitor data from wlan, but separate to gprs data. For people on capped wifi or just to know how much data is being used by n900 on wifi.

I am really missing KeePassX,
And a better PDF reader would be nice (remember where you are in each file, better search, table of contents, etc...)
I use the n900 as a netbook replacement, so I sync all of my relevant files in a folder with Drop900/DropBox, I use the Freoffice for the word/excels I use for work, and PDF reader for the pdfs from university, I use Git for syncing some of my devel projects, and more, the only thing I am missing is getting KeePassX to wok decently so I can use it to manage my passwords...

It might be possible to take a different approach and implement MusicDNS using PUIDS - more information (via the excellent Picard) here:

I wonder if the Symbian webkit Facebook app could be massaged into working on Maemo? It's comparatively decent.
That said, even Jan Ole's Facebook plugin for Gravity made Facebook a decent enough experience. I really hope his Qt port happens soon.

Try contacting the maintainer (andrew.olmsted at gmail dot com) and asking if this would be possible.
