GENERAL
* Wireless Charging, Solar charging, USB Charging
* Full USB - Mini or Micro (two usb ports?)
* Centered Camera/light sensor with 2-5 MegaPixels, zoom, flash, video.
* Two cameras OR rotating camera.
* Have camera be optional OR removable
* Two SD cards (Full OR Micro) OR SSD support
* Faster CPU (OMAP 3440 at 600 OR 800 mhz), More Memory, OpenGL hardware drivers
* 12 hour battery, even with WiFi and GPS running
* Hardware video decoding, no video issues
* Video out (no-bounds project)
* Scanner attachment or software to use camera as a scanner by picture-stitching (This could be done in software. Anyone up to it?)
* Hardware battery checker
* Temperature and other sensors (tricorder?)
* YAW sensor
* Vibrating alert

RADIOS, IR
* FM Radio, FM Transmitter for in-car listening
* WiMax and/or GRPS, EDGE
* Unlocked cellular (OR no phone)
* Improved GPS
* WiFi with packet injection (Does N900 have this?)
* IR for remote control

SCREEN
* More colors in LCD, 1024x800 or 1024x600 resolution
* Screen size: same size, 5 inch, 7 inch
* Multi-touch, transreflective or OLED screen
* Haptic touchscreen

FORM FACTOR
* Flush screen
* Rubberized back
* Hard Cover
* Wrist strap connector
* Smaller, lighter, sexier looks
* Tilt screen instead of kickstand; only the screen slides so that the D-Pad is well positioned.
* Scroll / volume wheel or Scroll strip along sides
* Hardware buttons moved to sides
* Accelerometer based screen rotation and/or cursor control
* Gaming buttons with keyboard closed (D-pad, O-Pad, or track-ball, both sides?)
OR clean iPod look with no buttons.

SOFTWARE
* Gesture support
* Works for finger only (large items) OR stylus (many smaller items on screen)
* Efficient A2DP and avrcp
* Java Support
* Codecs: OGG & Theora, Flac
* Fully Open Source OS
* Printing built in
* KDE built-it
* Transparent on-screen keyboard
* Solution for "fat finger" problem // I don't know about this since I don't have large fingers.

Overall, the N900 is a very satisfying device.

Here are what I consider to be features from the list (sort of) for next time:
* Full or OTG USB
* Full video out (No Bounds project)
* Software to scan using camera and create a PDF.
* More sensors (ideas: temperature, compass, particle, medical)
* Built-in printing (So that apps include printing)
* Extend touch-surface to edge of device for scrolling/virtual D-pad)
* More pixels, larger screen (same size or smaller device).
* Multi-touch (but without giving up the ability for a stylus for sketching, selecting from a list of small-printed items, etc.)
