As a happy G1 user who enjoys Android thus far, I like many of you I'm sure also have a wishlist of things that I'd be satisfied with if they was developed/ported to this already amazing device. So feel free and come up with your list of things that'd make Android "perfect" for you.

My List:

Flash Support
VLC-like multimedia support (i.e. a way to play 98% of the media files one would come across and throw on this thing)
Optional accelometer support in browser, pic viewer and maps among other things that'd make use of it.
Remote desktop software like a VNC port
Document support
Onscreen keyboard would be a nice bonus

Well I could keep going but that's it in a nutshell for me :)

I'd like to be able to assign functions to the buttons in each app.

For example, I have no use for the volume buttons while in the browser- I'd rather they serve a page up / page down function

or i could assign that to the green+red buttons like on a sidekick


overall the ability to get really deep into customizing and assigning every little part of the phone is what would thrill me

I would like:
1. much better integration of the file system into the GUI
2. customizable GUI
3. ability to change keyboard brightness (any brown G1 owner knows what I mean!)
4. better Bluetooth support
5. better Wireless support
6. ability to customize OS, like an actual Linux build
7. ability of OS to use SD cards for caching and local storage (see #1)

I'm sure i could think of more, but I need more coffee! :)

1. Ability to change the Vibrate options (pulsate, long vibrate, etc)
2. Ability to Zoom in/out in HTML Emails like you can in the browser.
3. Better battery life.
4. Flash Support

Android is great so far! Let's see:

1.) Store and run apps from SD card
2.) Better integrated browser
3.) Full bluetooth support


I think some people get Android and the software running on Android confused...I see people keep saying 'Flash support'. Is Flash open source? I would think that Flash would have to be supported by way of a 3rd party (i.e. Adobe) add-on.

a word like application is definately a must have and hardly exist in smartphones and the ones that do either suck or cost a fortune

All I would really want once I have the G1 is Document Support and Video Recording.

They are adding the things I need pretty quickly (video player and voice recorder are there)

I NEED
Stereo Bluetooth and Video Recording to be happy.

I'd LIKE
virtual keyboard, more video codecs

I want an app that will transform the G1 into a little mechanical man that is able to accompany my lady and myself around, a sort of robo-attache, if you will. :D

That or pins and favorites saved will do nicely.
