My experiences with MPlayer on the Maemo platform is much less superior to VLC on the desktop. I don't ever recall having to resample for the desktop. Had to do so on the NITs.
It's all about taste. And MPlayer, while I used to be a fan with it on my Mac very early on, VLC has replaced it in my usage.
But hey, I don't know about the MPlayer on maemo, since I haven't tried it. MPlayer can play the exact same formats as VLC, but for IT's there's always need to for example, reduce resolution and/or choose format that's less hard for the CPU, like XVID instead of h.264 because of the limited CPU speed. Desktop's don't suffer this problem.

The app that I really would like to see is the one tracking in real time Buss, metro, and trains on a map such as maemo mapper or ovi mapper. So that I would know exactly weither I missed the buss or that it is just in late.
I heard that iphone has one that tracks buss in the US. so I think it's gonna be possible to make it working under maemo 5.

I would like to see some widgets for homescreen that allows one to turn on/off something fast.
- 3G widget with on/off feature: allows user to switch from dual-mode to single and so (GSM only or with 3G network)
- Bluetooth on/off
- GPS signal on/off: on S60 to turn this on I have to start an application that requires GPS first.
- Google translate.
- Flashlight/Torch: one button to turn on/off or perhaps one more for SOS.
and Finnish readers with experience with widgets please consider making a Journey planner widget for TKL and YTV.

A few of the app / utilities I would love to see in the repos once the n900 launches...
- 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...)
- Ability to use device as a WiFi Modem. (e.g. MiFi)
I hope to use it as a WiFi modem too, hopefully something like Joikuspot will be available like they had on S60

I was thinking about using the APRS option of Maemo Mapper, since I don't even know where to as for help I lef the idea.
a megaphone + autotune (on choice) that projects input (via the microphone) to the phone speakers or an audio system when connected, REAL TIME.
I've been requesting on many Symbian forums but sadly, to no avail. Wonder if the maemo community is able to come up with a fantastic app like that!
Looking forward to responses, and thanks!
