    A calendar application that syncs with Google Calendar (ICAL).
    A synchronization possibility for phone contacts and Goole Mail contacts.

    Those are two features I would really like to see.

    To make android a new standard OS, many programs would be needed.
    PLZ have a look at and read till the end:

    - GPS navigation / route-planer for car/motorcycle (google maps could be a clue to keep the latest maps available, but without the need of an internet connection == download from pc for cheap price or even freeware)
    - The homescreen wil have to be fully modular (easy), so one can easely decide how many shedules will be shown and its form (list,agenda,week…) Position,Size,Color of each element should be free.
    - no limitation of ringtones-format (midi,mp3,wav…) and caller images (even animated gifs,movs,…)
    - file explorer that even works over bluetooth (can explore other device if allowed)
    - A GOOD BACKUP TOOL, that really backups everything and allows even partly recontruction. (from storage-card or cp)
    - a good speech recognition (wihtout learning) not only for dailing but also for SMS or mail (e.g. together with the T9 dictionaries for spellchecking)
    - a text 2 speech engine that can read incomming SMS (together with speech recognition to start applications), so during driving the car, there’s no more need to put hands away from steeringwheel!!!!
    - a handwriting recognition tool
    - tool to switch bluetooth on/off (or other phone-setting) depending on the mobilde-phone-cell (e.g. at a cell-id or if phone is “moving”)
    - a good agenda, that offers views (e.g. as angenda one) and allows text templates for new sheduls
    - an onboard answering machine for missing calls, that allows different text for differetnt callers

    Weather screen with radar overlay of where you are, in addition to the Forecast screen by day based upon where your calendar says you will be. IE if it says you have a meeting at an address in New York on Wednesday but you live in KC, you will want the forecast for new york on that day but the other days that week you want back home where you live.

    Google maps with built in GPS and “directions etc” for navigational purposes.
    Nice Facebook app, maybe a social networks manager or home.
    Support for the new Skyfire browser from http://www.skyfire.com (Windows mobile devices) unless you can do better
    Definitely need to have Threaded SMS with MMS capability embedded in the Thread.
    Visual Voicemail is a must, as well as options to a unified VM if you have multiple numbers.

    citizen reporter

    in light of all the citizen reporting going on i would like to see an app where it utilizes the cam/video as a webcam that stores the data to an online location. both audio and video. with a permanant date/time stamp tagged on.

    this would then lend itself to p2p video/audio conferencing where citizen reporter is recording and friend could then watch live and communicate.

    i consider this important simply because what we see on the news isnt always what is really going on. if it came down to people chiming in, this app could enable that simply and easily… provided your programmers can execute what ive described in a clean and succinct manner.

    **note to programmers: think of yourself as jimmy olsen trying to become a star reporter like clark kent. how easy should it be to grab the device soft key an app and be ready in 3…2…_….

    if you can bring this into development i would like to know about it.

    Full Bluetooth capabilities and a Manager to go along with it. Very useful and would mean that I could finally send something more then a measly picture from one specific model to the same specific model (verizon krzr’s). Would be very useful.

    I want my phone to perfect voice to text technology, and not just in texting, or voice dialing, over the whole phone’s interface. I want to be able to say “google” and have my phone open a browser and navigate to google.com. Navigation through the phone’s interface should be able to be controlled through voice, touch, buttons, and motion. You should have all these options for controlling the device. Other than that, I think a nice, (good quality) sound recording app would be awesome. Most current phones have this abliity, but the resulting sound is such low quality, that it cannot be used for much. Being able to record a clip of a song and setting it to your ringtone, or sending it to a friend, should be a easy process, and should not sound like it was recorded over a 2-way radio. Voice notes should be easier as well, as with current phones, they are not of much use, when you have to spend a while navigating to the menu option, make sure there is no background noise, position the microphone, etc. This should just be a much easier thing to do.

    I’ve been a smartphone user for 5 years, and have made a lot of money investing in the industry. Here is my list of must-have applications:

    EverNote (www.evernote.com – they have a Windows Mobile version)
    TomeRaider
    Handwriting/pen note-taking app with PC counterpart
    Voice recorder (like mVoice http://www.motionapps.com)
    Palm O/S emulator
    Full outlook sync for Calendar/Notes/Contacts
    International calling card app (automatically dials calling card # and password prior to dialing the contact #)
    Guitar tuner (like PhonTuner http://www.displayresearch.com)
    Chess

    Hi

    My idéa is that when you take a photo by your camera in the phone, the phone automaticallysaves via gps were the photo was shot. And when ever the owner of the phone, would like to see where his old familiy photo was taken, a map would show up and tell him.

    I would like to see a libpurple Internet Messaging client to be made for Android. It would be really good to see a multi-protocol IM client for Android. MSN+GoogleTalk+IRC+YIM+AIM++++etc

    I imagine that there is already a music player, image viewer and video player either in development by Google, or by some other developers. —- With wifi-enabled Androids there could be iPod Touch-ing to be done.

    A Terminal application. It’s not Linux without a Terminal.

    Well, I have been using Palms for ten years…and use quite a few applications daily so I would at least like the following to be available before I jump:

    - Calendar – with alarms and repeating events…AND synchable with desktop…and EASY to use…as in one or two clicks to enter an appt, like the current palm..and NOT like the iPhone

    - Contact list – with numerous fields, notes, a picture…and sophisticated find function (e.g., start typing and start matching based on first name, last name, company, or title…like TakePhone)…AND synchable

    - Calculator – with scientific option and (fingers crossed) potential RPN mode

    - Camera app with decent photo album

    - Ability to open AND edit MS Word, MS Excel, Text, RTF (and potentially Open Office writer/scalc)

    - Ability to display MS PPT and PDFs (and potentially Open Office impress)

    - EBook reader! – I don’t care about DRM…just give me a decent reader with bookmarks. I have read hundreds of books on my Treo and my wife loves the fact that I don’t need to leave a light on.

    - Email program – supporting POP and IMAP…and attachments. I don’t really care about push mail since I have my own domain and am not likely to switch to gmail.

    - Google maps

    - A decent video player…like Kinoma and/or TCPMP

    - A decent MP3 player that also provides access to streaming internet radio…like pTunes. I tend to listen to streaming radio more than MP3s. BTW, I don’t care about DRM here either.

    - A text-based memo app…that is synchable

    - A synchable “to do” list app…with due dates and priorities

    - Multi-threaded MMS

    - A decent browser that can handle JS and DHTML and can render a page fairly quickly. Flash would be a plus.

    - A KILLER phone app. I won’t even begin to list what I want here, but start with the power of TakePhone and add the UI mastery of UltimatePhone and you are there

    - MP3 ringtones…assignable to specific callers…and unknown callers…and a setting to send unknown callers right to VM

    - Decent security and backup to SD with encryption…and a remote lock and/or wipe capability

    - Voice memos

    - Sodoku :-)

    - Multi-city weather app (to save me from browsing)

    - Clock with multiple alarms

    - Global find (across apps…biased toward the current app and with the ability to exclude apps)

    - Global cut and paste

    …and that is just a start…and before you say that I am asking for the world, I have all of this and more on my dated Treo 700p. I also want apps that have a usability focus and not just sexiness. I don’t care if widgets spin and dance, but I certainly better be able to delete more than one email message at once.

    We want a budgeting app that can track multiple budgets, and here’s the hard part, it would be really nice to have it on the PC as well, and both should sync.

    - file synching with your desktop

    - bandwidth usage monitoring tool (especially 3G, but wireless would also be useful)

    - media output on bluetooth

    - flash

    - java runtime (am I dreaming with this one?)

    I want my phone to perfect voice to text technology, and not just in texting, or voice dialing, over the whole phone’s interface. I want to be able to say “google” and have my phone open a browser and navigate to google.com. Navigation through the phone’s interface should be able to be controlled through voice, touch, buttons, and motion. Of course, in the same line, I would like to be able to dictate SMSs, Emails, and notes.

    Adhoc mode for the wireless capability. If everyone had a phone with adhoc mode everyone could have access to data from web.

    Call filter software – Like whitelist & blacklist. -to divert unrecognised numbers to a different number (i/e/ reception) and only allow calls through that are in the phonebook.

    There’s apps that do this on nearly every phone apart from Android !

    some player that’s can play divx videos, will be good, and making the BT working to transfers files is also very good.
    This is the most required things on android, like the sync contacts with outlook. Some mini open office is also required.

    I’m with 96. I want Verizon’s new Droid. I want to directly sync my iCal and Address Book on my Mac with the Droid. Not with Google calendar or contacts – way too many problems trying that.

    Emulators for the HP voyager RPN calc range – HP-12C, HP-15C etc.

    iPhone has multiple versions of these available. As yet, none for android.

    I need a simple way to record a voice message and have it sent to my email box. Note2Self has a great application for iPhone and blackberry. The solutions I have seen so far require too many key strokes. If you are driving or doing pretty much anything else you have to stop and look at the phone. The app should be press the soft button on the menu, the recording software starts when done press send. the app closes and the voice message is sent to your email.
