		<description>ShopSavvy and some of the other &quot;shopping&quot; programs on the Market do items #11 and #12.

I use ShopSavvy personally, and I&#039;ve used it to scan a UPC code in a store, and compare it&#039;s price between b&amp;m Target, Walmar,t and against Amazon, etc online prices. 
It grabs b&amp;m store prices listed online based on what other stores are around me, and tells me their posted prices as well as popular online store prices, which I then compare with what I&#039;m standing in front of.</description>

		<description>Nathan, you should try out GrandCentral.com, which was recently acquired by Google. It offers most of the services you asked for, for free (at least during the beta).</description>

		<description>talk about payment. Receiving and sending giftcards, texting and shopping by just using your cell phone number and pin is so easy.  Even if there was a shopping feature, credit cards are expensive (fees) and downloads for people or dealing with phone apps. aren&#039;t smooth.  I use Mobibucks at coffee shops in Mtn View , like Dana&#039;s and it&#039;s the next big wave</description>

I like your ideas better than the articles. I don&#039;t know why basic features like these are missing from phones.</description>

		<description>Some of the possibilities in this article are interesting, but here&#039;s a scenario I&#039;m more excited about seeing:

Contacts: Every contact I enter in my phone or email account is synced to both places - names, addresses, birthdays, notes, etc. If I lose my phone, I never lose this information. Contacts are grouped in tabs, like the ones in your browser - friends, business, family, etc.

Voicemail: Callers should hear a custom message depending on who they are: business contacts hear me being professional, friends hear me being silly, etc. When I have messages, I should see an inbox listing the messages and be able to pick and choose what I listen to.

Access control: I give out one phone number which can ring to any/all of my phones, and I chose who can reach me where and when. If I go to bed, all callers get a message saying &quot;I&#039;m asleep;&quot; friends and family have the option to wake me in an emergency. New callers get screened and I&#039;m prompted to classify them as business, friends, etc. Annoying callers get marked &quot;Spam&quot; and are blocked.

Customization: I can set shortcuts for any function in my phone and get to it in a couple of key presses. Voice memo, calendar, silent mode, calculator - whatever is useful to me.

To me, these are all fairly basic things that phones should be able to do. The phone is PRIMARILY a communications tool. Sure, it can be a camera, personal shopper, toaster, etc, but its primary job is to let me get in touch with people and let people get in touch with me with minimal hassle. And it should go without saying that every phone should have excellent call clarity, speakerphone function, etc before you even start trying to add a video-enabled social reality tagging treasure hunt shopping experience.

If we start adding extras, my first choice would be:

Navigation: My phone should have GPS and give turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps. All map information for a trip should be cached at the start in case I lose service along the way. The physical addresses of all my contacts are easy to plug in for directions. (This seems like a gimmie, since GPS signals are free and most phone can access the web. Why should you pay a monthly fee for navigation services?)</description>

		<description>Osita - When something is &quot;open source,&quot; it just means that the way it works is public knowledge. It doesn&#039;t mean everyone can modify it. Firefox is a great browser which any programmer can suggest improvements for. Sure, hackers can see its weaknesses, but so can &quot;good guys&quot; - and there are more good guys than bad, so they generally get fixed pretty fast. By contrast, the way that Internet Explorer works is a secret. If one hacker finds a weakness, he may be the only person who spots it, leaving the good guys to wonder what&#039;s happening while he exploits it. Only Microsoft can defend IE; any programmer can help defend Firefox.</description>

		<description>One of my greatest fears is this: If you make something so powerful opensource, then what happens to the end-user? Imagine if Google search algorithm was opensource how skewed hackers would make the search results generated. Does Google have the consumer&#039;s interest at heart in this one? I really want to know.</description>
