Some ideas I had
No promise to develop any of these, so if you think something is cool then go ahead and make it happen!
Integration
- Bluetooth mic, speakers, pointing device and joystick
- Network file server (samba based, so it shows up on your wireless network)
- Web server (LAMP, or perhaps just VNC)
- A network printer (another way to transfer things, just for the hell of it)
- Remote control for mythtv, xbmc, etc
- USB hard drive support (transfer data from phone to phone, camera to phone etc)
Cheapness
- Share minutes/texts etc with friends
- Route calls through wireless for free VOIP
- Take over land line for incoming calls, and use the cheapest for outgoing calls (wifi->PC->modem)
- Onboard voicemail, to avoid operator charges
- Detect free wifi points and store their GPS locations online
James Bond gadget
- Covert recording of phone calls
- Bugging device (automatic record/call when it hears something, and silent phone-in)
- Play a sound back while making a call, to pretend you're somewhere else
- Simulate a bad connection, avoid the call you didn't want to have
- Detect people who you're avoiding by their bluetooth mac
Swiss Army Knife
- Protocol analyser
- Wireless network interference viewer
- Graphing calculator (phone calculators are rubbish)
- Motion capture using accelerometers, graffiti style painting using arm movements (if this is possible?)
- Lightmeter (for future models with camera)
- Torch (just turn the backlight on indefinitely)
Hardware
- USB->RJ45 for hooking up to wired networks (use as a router, bridge, port tester, etc)
- USB->USB for plugging in whatever you like
