Open Moko is a fantastic, super cool idea and the founders are to be lauded, congratulated, and bequeathed many great free beers.
I've been using Linux since 1993 and, though it was a while back, have done a ton (~= 10 yrs) of coding in C and plan on developing some pet apps for OM.

Audio Recorder: I'm guessing that many people (I'm one) would like to have a recorder integrated into their phone/PFA (i.e., OM phone). Here's a few comments I just read today from a writers' list:
I'm on the market for a new digital recorder and the pod-favorite olympus dm-10 has been discontinued. any suggestions? thanks, steve * I've got a little Panasonic that I've been pretty happy with, and it came with some easy to use software.

The above would give designers some clues as to what consumers like and don't like and so help design a smooth app. Having a way to record voice audio would, in addition, be a stepping stone to emailing voice messages and having a message answer incoming calls when you can't or don't want to answer and probably several other nice apps.
