A hardware power switch. That is, holding the button switches off the device instead of waiting for software to do it. I would honestly consider that a major selling point given the amount of pain and frustration the bizarre lack of it has produced for the N810.

Less pain than yanking the battery out when the system locks up.
Indeed, I miswrote that. By waiting for software to do it, I of course mean when software has completely toppled over and is not going to do it within the current decade.

Even if there are system files on the damaged areas?
The people didn't like much the wifi corruption bug, probably won't like this either.

Yep, that should do. Other than that, an apparently "dead" system is usually the CPU running flat out, and sometimes hitting the home button a few times will eventually produce the list of applications and you can hit the 'x' and kill them/it.

I think the N900 could have the potential for being a fantastic universal remote for A/V equipment. Since it can connect to the internet, one could imagine companies providing profiles for various remotes, allowing one to store a whole set of remotes in one unit. Since it has a touch screen, the screen could be configured to appear like just about any remote available. You'd just press the button on the screen to stop or pause or play, etc. I suppose it could even learn the commands of generic remotes by monitoring the outputs of these remotes. It has the potential of being a killer app.
Of course, the N900 would have to have a IR port to do this, something the N810 unfortunately lacks....

It's better as an add-on. I pointed out that it'd be really neat to have a geek port/slot.. in another thread I'd mentioned maybe a PCIe connector for micro devices in an expansion port? That would probably be the best thing. My old Handsprings and my Palm Tungsten T5 had a built-in IR... I never used it for anything except on the extremely rare occasion of printing to my IR enabled printer. IR ports are very slow for data and to make the signal bright enough for using as a remote controller, you'd use a lot of battery life--this is why you needed an add-on on the Palm computers to do that. I could see myself using an IR port--but I could want to use something else more.
