Applications you wish were ported from other platforms
While waiting for Rx-51 and friends, it could be useful to list all those apps from other platforms (Symbian, Palm, Iphone, Java etc.) you can't live without, and you wish were ported on your new maemo convergence device.
Please list here, also including the operating system, the developer's site if you know it, and a brief summary of their functionality.
You should include only already existing apps which are today available for other mainstream pocketable devices, not generic rants for some generic fancy functionality, or applications meant for desktop computers. This way, we can keep high the signal-to-noise ratio and maybe select a number of developers we should convince to work on the new maemo platform.
