Software wish-list

This page is for bundled Nokia software requests.

Contents

Operating System

  • Better support for right-to-left languages, such as Arabic, and Hebrew.
  • I think ITOS's user interface should be improved on utilization rate of screen space, aesthetic feeling and simplicity. Some proper technical method(for example,several typical standardized UI widgets of same kind to cover various use, more advanced combo UI widgets, more standardization on size, position and layout)should be taken to keep most applications developed by community,especially less experienced developers,highly consistent with the ITOS' user interface.
  • Unionfs support built into the kernel (So users don't have to flash initfs and boot from SD, or make symlinks gone wild, just to install a few extra apps)
  • a2dp
  • More intuitive Cut/Copy & Paste: This was done very handy in the Newton OS of the Apple Newton Messagepad and I still miss it very much. You could mark any text with the pencil and just move it to any corner/border of the screen. The cut/copied text got stuck there and you could always see part of the text fragment there. When you wanted to use this text fragment again (=Paste) you just moved that fragment from the border back to any text input field. Copy & Paste was done by default; Cut & Paste was done by double-hitting the marked text before moving it to any border of the screen.
  • Screen rotation support.

Inbuilt Applications

  • A PIM system that can be tied into by developers, to provide PC synchronization etc.
    • A equivalent to telepathy for calendar,contact list, and tasks: A well integrated framework (with binding for many languages such python).
    • Possibly related to and syncable between Nokia phone models - as well as online. PIM data should be available everywhere.
    • Add more fields to the address book: Actual address, Birthday,....
  • Telepathy:
    • Better video call support
  • Global sync-software

Other Applications

  • Office suite. (???) see discussion
  • Abiword (please assist the developers and support it officially on the Internet tablet)
