What is Your Fantasy Application

Earlier this month at the TechSet Blogger Lounge during SxSW in Austin, nine of the Web’s most transparent geeks shared their dreams to build a fantasy application for Windows Mobile phones. You can vote for any of these ideas at the Fantasy Mobile page at Magnify.net. Microsoft will partner with a vendor to build the winning application! Voting ends during April.

For those of you who couldn’t make it to SxSW, we’d also like to hear about your fantasy mobile application. Feel free to make a comment below. What do you want to see in the marketplace? You will find the tools and resources to build it yourself here!

  Those videos were utterly miserable to sit through.  The idea of fantasy apps is great, but the content is horrific.  The only fantasy application worth it is the text-to-speech and the speech-to-text.

  A sky map (star chart) that is both location aware, and orrientation aware (using compass), so that it displays the stars visable in any section of the sky that it is pointed at. Should have data connection to download updates to track sats, comets, etc.

  Most of the apps are just ridiculous- twitter for your dog!?!?! Only two resonable are the text-voice conversion (doesn't something like that already work in vista? - should be possible to port it to pocket pc) and world annotating (idea is great, but would be probably used mostly for advertising and spam - ). Really looking forward to see one of those on my phone. BTW - similar idea to world annotation was used in microsoft tag - why not to extend it not only to printed tag but also to gps location?

  An app that allows me to easily buy apps, games, and music directly onto my device. Must not be a slow mobile web "app," however.

  A Location Aware Calendar A calendar able to use the GPS data. If I have an appointment at 11 AM at a given address the calendar should be able to use location and traffic data to remind me when i should be leaving for the meeting (the app should be able to determine estimated time of arrival and place a reminder for the meeting soon enough so i would have enough time to get to that meeting). The calendar should be able to remind me to pick-up dry cleaning when i'm passing near the dry cleaning

  Closest killer app to what I'd like is the voice to text and text to voice.  But I'd also like to put a language translator between the conversion so I could speak to someone in my native language and they could speak in theirs and we would be able to hear each other in our native languages.  I'm sure there would be plenty lost in translation but it'd be nice to be able to mostly communicate in many other languages through the phone.

  A Bluetooth device manager that allows me to prioritize bluetooth devices and automatically connects based on what is in range.  For example, if my bluetooth earpiece was in range and my bluetooth car kit was in range, then the car kit would connect.

  I would like Microsoft to include noise cancelation, perhaps developed with one of headset makers, in the OS, so it would work whether you were using a headset or just talking on your phone.
