Smartphone, and indeed Pocket PC, have come a long way since the early days of only finding a handful of software to download, and now we are somewhat spoiled by a veritable feast of applications
 In today's Talking Point, I invite you to answer the following question: 'Which application, game or tweak would you really like to see for your device, and would you pay for it?' You never know, a developer or tweaker might be inspired by your request, or a fellow member might be able to point you towards an application that already exists! In Talking Point tradition, here's my list... QUOTE(Paul (MVP)) Device: iMate JAMin Wishlist Tweaks: Tweak to turn off flashing LED for signal reception - would pay a small amount for tweak / tweaking app that did this Tweak to make a very small vibrate when pressing keys on the input panel - would pay a small amount for tweak / tweaking app that did this Applications: FOLDERSHARE (.com) client for Windows Mobile - would pay for this Blogging client for Invision Power Blog - would pay a small amount for this Fully supported and working CellTrack - would pay a small amount for this Games: Lemmings for Pocket PC - would pay for this! Worms for Pocket PC with online multiplayer - would pay for this! Minesweeper Flags for Pocket PC with MSN Messenger interop - would pay for this! That's a few entries off the top of my head, let's hear your list!  P --------------------   |

SDAII smartphone & Loox 720 PPC
I would gladly pay a small amount for a "hearts" type game to play on my smartphone. I would really like for an app similar to Omegaones Journal to be single handed operation. (using the stylus to navigate on a crowded train is NO joy), I would pay a small amount . That's my tuppence worth. |

VOIP!!
I can't beleive no one else mentioned it! There is not a single commercially available SIP compatible VOIP client for the smartphone platform. Sure, there's woize, but Woize is really just a Skype wannabe. I want to use my own phone provider. I mean come on, that's why I bought a device with WiFi! Why, developing community, WHY?! The pocket pc has Xten, SJphone, and a few others that can be "hacked" and made to work on smartphone, but their interfaces don't work very well without the touchscreen. Then there's Cicerophone... which has been tested and works on an imate sp5m. But they won't sell it, and you can't get it anywhere. So very frustrating. |

I really want a tweak that sets the Default Input Methond on my Wizard (T-Mob Vario) to Letter Recgoniser.
I've just had to Hard Reset because the tweak I made killed my device! |

You should be able to do it from SKTools. Worth a bash before you install your stuff again? P -------------------- |

Gawd bless Sprite Backup!
I want to be able to sort my tweak, so that I can apply it to our work phones with a bunch of other "standard" tweaks. Might try SK to find the correct SIP id! |

I want a voice program for WM Smartphone (especially) that will simply let me assign a voice command to each KEY on the phone and also to each ascii letter and symbol. Assigning voice tags to people and programs isn't very useful to the way I use the phone at all. It would also be nice if it could do dictation of spoken words for emails.
I want an 8 way joystick that controls a true native mouse pointer! That would make it easier for me to move to ppc (which I haven't done because one-handed use is the most important feature for me and after playing with a friends ppc I realized one-handed use was a major problem). I'd also like this on smartphone, but mostly for programs like IE. |

1. App to auto-send SMS messages that I've written as soon as my phone comes back into reception.
This will be a part of our Missed Calls app. You can check out progress here: www.MSMobileSoft.com/forum Regards QUOTE(Webreaper @ Jul 7 2006, 17:16) I'm sure I've seen lemmings for PPC somewhere? There must be a java version...

I'd also like this on smartphone, but mostly for programs like IE. I'm not sure if I understand the use of the first item you described, but for the love of g-d, THIS is a great suggestion! It doesn't even have to be 8-way, I'd settle for a 4 direction use of the included joystick of my sp5m... but there really should be an app out there that lets you create a virtual mouse pointer on the screen. That way, all those PPC programs that need a touchscreen for their interface could still be used! I totally think its possible... they have that program that lets you point and click with your computer's mouse when connected, why can't I do it on the road with the joystick? |

I thought of something else I would really like... a List Manager application like 'ListPro' that supported multiple users, syncing to an online service.
OK, I basically want to be able to download at any time a shopping list that the missus maintains from her phone / PC, when I go past Sainsbury or Tesco P -------------------- |

Not sure about that, but you could add it to your start menu like so:
