Thanks in > advance! A couple of things that I'd like to see are (possibly not entirely desktop): - Expansion of the contacts app to support phone numbers etc. for voip apps etc - Expanded power management. This is more kernel than actual UI but some of the things that I've seen around for projects like OLPC where if the sound driver isn't used for a couple of seconds its shut down etc. Things like the USB port, in the general scheme of things, aren't used very often so could (not sure if they are all ready) be shut down most of the time to save battery (saw a blog entry somewhere where someone played with the shutdown of usb when not in use and saved a couple of watts). - More details in the wireless device section. - Support for speex/ogg/vorbis/theora - Support for BT Headsets, better support for other BT things such as keyboards/gpses Peter
