Message to RIM - wish list for next version

Hi
Just some thoughts based on a couple of days of use of a playbook that my IT folks lent me.
Firstly, hopefully RIM will realize that the only way this will take off is if Enterprise users really buy into it but the device lacks in certain areas if it is to be a WorkBook instead of a PlayBook (which other tablets do a better job at) as follows:
- no way to adjust font size or zoom in the Messages in the BlackBerry bridge - if the higher ups in corporate can't read their messages, they won't buy.
- even though typing e-mails show you spelling errors w a red underline - there is no way to correct, while in your BBerry, you can call up spelling correction options.  (The same for the other bridge apps, like memos etc, as well).
- very difficult to edit messages, the touch screen is not sensitive enough so its difficult to place the cursor to exactly to the point you need it in text you have already typed.  Suggest an optical track ball (similar to the ones in the 9700s) or a stylus be incorporated into the next version.
- even if you are able to get the cursor to the spot you want it in a draft e-mail/memos you can't highlight to cut or copy text to other parts of the e-mail/memo draft.
- can't view attachments that are part of the calendar entries - but you can on the BBerry itself.
Think that's it after 2 days of using.  Needless to say, am disappointed as the PlayBook doesn't increase productivity and is lacking in key areas that are part of what makes BBerry a strong product.  I wouldn't buy with my personal funds and think the corporate will not roll out as aggressively as it could the cost/benefit is currently not there.
Let's see what future software/hardware upgrades bring.
Cheers to all.

  • Wish list for next iPod software update

    I don't know if this the right place or not, I was unable to find a better place for this.
    Wish list for next iPod 5G software update
    1.) Use the same folder structure as in iTunes (could be an option)
    2.) Allow creation of custom eq settings in iTunes.
    That's all for now. Thank you Apple for a great product.

    What the next update needs is a better way for ipods to deal with gapless albums, I have several albums that I put on gapless album cuz each track leads into the next one perfectly and that little pause really throws off the feel of the music. But I can't put either of those albums on Repeat All, Shuffle Songs or Shuffle Albums cuz then it only plays the one song in it's own playlist and to get to the next track I have to go back to the menu and scroll down to the next one, which is a hassle to say the least.

  • Nokia 5230 - Wish List for Next Firmware Upgrade

    heya guys,
    I'm using Nokia 5230 with the latest firmware, V 12.0.089.
    The following are my wish list for the next firmware upgrade:-
    1. Messaging > Sent Items: Please include short cut icons to Forward, Create New and Delete as in Inbox.
    2. Log > Recent calls: Unnecessary option for Call > Voice Call.
    3. Settings > Personal > Themes > Call image > Theme image: A bug with certain 3rd party theme (e.g. JustBlack - 5th theme). During lock mode, screen is totally blank during calls & alarms.
    4. Settings > Application mgr. > Installed apps.: Too much application will cause an error of "Application Manager Memory full"  and auto exit when selecting "Option". During error, phone memory is around 25MB, Memory Card is around 2.5GB/4GB.
    5. Ovi Map > Drive / Walk > Set Destination: Please do an icon based UI for History, Favourite, Search & From Map. The list is to small to click on to (when driving) :-)
    6. Organize > Please include multiple selections. E.g. Mark/Unmark > Mark / Mark All. Easy to move multiple applications at once to any folder.
    That's all for now i guess. By the way, Nokia rocks!! 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Please integrate swype for messaging in the next firmware of 5230. Also kinetic scrolling for messages and contacts. If possible the homescreen of symbian^3. 

  • Wish list in next version: Curves. It's Missing.

    Hello,
    I purchased Aperture and like many attributes of the software. Great job! I would like to see Curves in the next version. I know I can go to adjust in Curves in Photoshop, but that will covert the RAW image into a .tif or .psd which takes up more space. Why not just have Curves in Aperture?
    Great job with Highlight recovery and shadow recovery. Especially Highlight recovery which gives a pleasing feel of tone to an image that just clipped the highlight detail! Didn't get that pleasing subtle tone in Lightroom.

    I never cared for the Curves UI in PS. I'm also not thrilled with the Levels UI in Aperture. You can certainly get good work done with both styles but for me, and this is subjective, neither is a particularly elegant solution.
    I'll preface this next statement with the fact that I own Aperture, and I DON'T own Adobe's Lightroom. I've recently had the opportunity to play a bit with LR, and the Tone Curve UI (Curves/Levels) is a joy to use. It's very intuitive, powerful and there are a number of ways to make your adjustments. The UI just gets out of your way, and you can focus in on the results. It is, IMO, a superb tool for refining tones in an image. I would love to see Aperture develop an interface for Levels that was more like the Tone Curves interface in LR.

  • Logic wish list for next release

    Cosmetics may not be important for some but for the rest of us it is.
    When I work with PT9 or DP7 I am amazed how beautiful they look. It makes it so easy and pleasing to work with them. BUT I like Logic Pro better for everything else so APPLE if you read this MAKE LOGIC PRO WITH THEMES (COLORS CHOICES) OR SPECTRUM CHOICES AS IN PT9 and DP7 . IT MAKE LIFE BETTER WHEN YOU WORK 10 -12 HOURS A DAY ON PROJECT.
    The Dark gray color In Logic is nice but boring. Other competitor are cathing with a pleasing environment.
    DP7 is a wonder and EM choices of DAW for 2010 Cosmetics are important to.
    Thanks:-)
    ED

    meh ... color themes I can live without.
    here's something I've been wishing more and more for though:
    * bounce by markers
    Say you've got a whole show tracked. You run through and you set markers on each of the songs. Maybe you run through again and set some automation while you're mixing etc.
    Now you just need to bounce each song out and set the ID3 tags etc.
    What'd be super nice would be a bounce by markers button that just starts at the beginning of the project and bounces each marked section and labels it with a track number and the title of the marker.
    I also vote for "flex pitch" ... that's highly marketable and good to have.
    And also Mainstage as a software intstument in logic would be AWESOME.

    how to send a text message to a group of people and save the list for next time from an iphone 4s?

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

  • Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

    I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
    This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
    1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
    - Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
    - Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
    - Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
    - Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
    - Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
    - when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
    - Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
    - Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
    - faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
    2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
    - iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
    - VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
    - Flight tracker widget
    - Exchange support (probably in the works)
    - Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
    - Bluetooth sync
    - DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
    - Data/File storage with sync
    - TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
    - Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
    -Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
    3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
    - GPS
    - 3G
    - LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
    - Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
    Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  

    I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
    The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
    My wish list:
    1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
    2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
    3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
    4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
    5) Copy and paste.
    V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

  • My WishList  of features for next Version

    Hi Team,
    As  Developer I really love Catalyst,It does complete my FlashBuilder development experience  all the way, but still  I would like to share some of my wishes on features that could be nice to have  for next Version:
    1) Build but dont automatically open new Browser, (currently everytime I want to test a change I have to ctr+enter it and it opens new instance of IE, even though url is the same, would be nice just to build it and I could refresh my IE (saves some memory on IE instances) or maybe there is already a way to do it?
    2) ability to copy some Layers from one Buttons state to another buttons state, for example I designed a button component and now I want to copy some of the
    layers to Toggle button component.
    the way I did it was following
    I copied my finished button and then I right clicked and selected "Revert Component to Artwork" and then I selected all artwork parts and did convert to component -> toggle button, but this way it only copied layers that I have initially creted for the button and not the layers that I have added in buttons over state.
    thats it so far, everyhing else seems great.

    You're welcome.
    It will certainly be interesting to that device if it included all that hardware, and options.
    It might look like this

  • Kelby's wish list for LR4 ...

    Scott Kelby posted his wish list for LRv4 on his blog today pointing out features, adjustments and tweaks he would like to see in the next iteration of Lightroom ....
    http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2010/archives/11824
    Is he on target? Are his suggestions worthy, important and doable?
    I must say I wouldn't be disappointed with his vision of what LR4 would be capable of ....

    Personally, I'm on a pretty different page.
    I could care less about Lightroom's slideshow capability - because I don't use it (I use 3rd party presentation tools after exporting from Lr).
    I could care less about Lightroom's photobooks - because if I did use photobooks, I could do it in Aperture or some other 3rd party software.
    I could care less about soft-proofing because I don't use it, and if I did, I could always pull the photos into another app that does support soft-proofing.
    ... I could go on, but my point is that anything that can easily be done at the endpoints of the workflow with another tool is less of a concern to me than the things I do day in and day out, which is Library + Develop, especially Develop.
    And Adobe still has some serious image quality matters to address, e.g. Highlight recovery.
    I would agree with Scott on these points:
    - Networked catalog support (although I don't have need, I understand other peoples need for this).
    - Soft-proofing: this is not a contradiction - I acknowlege other peoples strong desire/need for this.
    Other stuff I don't use but would imagine becoming big:
    - GPS/Location support.
    My wishlist:
    - Finish what they started being #1 image-quality-wise
        - especially highlight recovery
        - and other hue shift anomalies.
    - Finish what they started being #1 performance-wise (read: get the bugs out so the performance for "all" of us matches the performance for the lucky ones).
    - Add better color handling and/or adjustment capability.
    - Better auto-tone and Active-D-Lighting-like support (fill-light + clarity goes pretty far now, and jjust fixing highlight recovery would be a huge step in the right direction here).
        - Fix 'Clarity' so that one can down-throttle its affect on "already high-contrast" edges.
    - targeted adjustments (based on luminance, color, ..., e.g. U-points only better)
        - includes making the auto-mask work better.
    - all adjustments available locally.
    - Separate channel levels and curves.
    - distraction removal brush (e.g. content-aware fill).
    - Support for image enhancement via plugin. - once pixel manipulation is integrated with parametric editing (see my #1 wish below) - this will be a fallout - I don't care too much whether image manipulation tools plug into photoshop or lightroom, as long as they are readily accessible in Lightroom without forking a separate photo.
    - Full-screen editing with develop panels + library panels simultaneously open on secondary monitor.
    - Full access to Lightroom UI via SDK (plugin) - including event notification and having things in the panels.
    AND MY #1 WISH FOR LIGHTROOM 4:
    - 100% integration with Photoshop and/or other 3rd party pixel editors and plugins - this would include the ability to have multiple shots be considered sub-shots of an HDR image. - If this were done, it would lessen many of the needs for natively supporting things like separate channel levels and curves and all adjustments local. To reiterate: the main goal is to be able to do things presently relegated to pixel editors without forking a new photo, even if internally its handled as a fork - I don't want to have to manage an additional independent photo entity just to remove a twig.
    I'm sure there's more, but I gotta go dance...

  • Wish list for Lightroom 4

    I just put together my wish list for Lightroom 4.
    http://davidnaylor.org/blog/2011/01/wish-list-for-lightroom-4/
    What do you think? Did I miss anything important out?

    I want soft proofing so bad, I didn't even upgrade to lr3, because the changes they did make meant so little in comparison to it.
    Please Adobe, if you're reading this...SOFT PROOFING PUH-LEEZ!
    Additionally, it would be very useful to be able to embed watermarks that are visible to printing services, but not visible when viewing files on screen.  I don't know if that's even possible, but it would help photographers who want to provide the files to our clients, but don't want them to have unlimited usage.  They can enjoy the photos on their computers, they could print too, but the printing services would be limited by whatever copyright limitations the photographer places on the invisible watermark.  For example, I might put something like:
    copyright 2011 Iconic Photography, Vancouver, Canada
    This image may be reproduced to a maximum print size of 8" x 12"
    Contact Iconic Photography at [email protected] for more information.
    This would prevent clients from making their own albums or wall prints.  Whaddaya say Adobe?

  • What's on your wish list for the NIke+ sportkit?

    Here's my wish list so far. What's on your wish list for the Nike+ Nano sportkit? (Already sent to Apple and Nike+ feedback so please don't tell me to do that. Apple & Nike+ do read the forum. )
    Nike+:
    I would like to see:
    -- a date on the start of my goals (rather than just "you have 16 days to go").
    --previous goal start and end dates (I have completed goals in half the time I gave myself but it doesn't show that)
    --MOST IMPORTANT--some way to show improvement in pace (or distance, or time). At the moment you don't see what your previous cumulative pace was. You don't even know whether it's getting better or worse. You have to guess on the basis of looking back at each individual run.
    --a simple, foolproof way to re-upload run data to Nike+
    Nano:
    I would like to see:
    --a two-step way to end a run, rather the current four step Pause> Menu> spin the dial>End
    --since the sensor obviously records steps (you can see step count in the xml file), let the users see that step count in their totals and upload the steps data to Nike+

    - support for podcast playing as well as typical control of now playing - the ability to move the item playing back if you miss something (say, while listening to a podcast or audiobook). I like to catch up on my podcasts while I run, then listen to music at the end of the run. I am kludging my way through with playlists right now, one for each day, but I'd really rather not. Really there should be a "Music" menu option so that you could choose to listen to an artist or an album or a genre - your choice - rather than just a playlist or shuffle songs.
    - support for other shoes, even legacy Nike shoes, perhaps with a rigid arch support insole or something that you can slip in that has a pocket for the sensor? I realize that Nike is likely looking at this as a way to make people buy higher margin shoes, but I'd pay extra for a Nike branded insole like that, too.
    - I agree with the option for a non-flash site.
    - The ability to turn off the power song feature, or at least customize some of the features. I'd prefer a quick trip to the main menu with a press and hold, say, with a menu item on the end of the main menu to return to the workout data (sort of like the "Now Playing" menu item) so that I can change music selections, change backlight timing, whatever.
    - I'd love to be able to access workout data on the PC without having to connect to the internet.
    - If you are listening to a podcast or audiobook, I'd like the spoken announcements ("you have 10 minutes to go") to pause the playback rather than speak over it, or at least give me the option to do so.
    I've only had it a week; I am sure that I will come up with more as I use it more.
