the double box icon(app switcher) is also the taskbar
any updated info you receive via the yellow boxes at the top of the screen land in the app switcher, not to mention you can click on the yellow boxes to before they land in the app switcher to head to that info directly
ideally i'd make this a hardware button, but perhaps thats an idea for a maemo6 device

When the camera lens cover is opened this functionality is disabled and you can use the camera HW key for picture taking as intended. I never launch the camera with camera HW key anyway - I always use the lens cover for that so for me no functionality is lost with this.

I was thinking if we can make a dock for the Maemo 5. Like the Apple Dock sort of Idea and put it as widget at the bottom of the screen so we can do a quick easy access to programs and still have plenty of space on screen
I think this would make our beloved N900 a super mobile tablet
make those Iphoney guys jelous

hahaha I thought I'm the only one who like the idea!! Though I worked with Both MAC and PC oh and Linux sometimes. I would want to have a very similar Dock on Maemo 5, it would make the access to each program faster than clicking the multi-tasking virtual button. Which you have to tab 2 times to get in. With a dock we can just click and run. and ability to force quit from the dock in case of the program have memory leak so we can kill it without having to restart.

Or maybe there should just be a Alt+Tab equivalent, so switch between two windows quickly?

I know that soon we will be able to get all the services, Gtalk, Skype, MSN, all running natively through the conversations screens. However, switching from one conversation to the other will be frustrating!
My solution would be to have a little overlay icon on the screen somewhere, when clicked, this would bring up a task bar just like you have on Windows machines.
You could keep this on the screen so it makes it easy to switch between windows.
This may get complicated ifyou have more than say 5 applications open, but maybe there is a way around this

What do you guys think? It is worth a Brainstorm?
