Default What apps would you like to see?

Hey guys,

Are there any (simple)tablet specific apps you guys would really like to see? I'm no star programmer(2nd year software eng. student with no experience before university) and I'm certainly not an android pro(really just got into android development in January) but I'll see what I can do. I've been working on some simple phone apps but I'd really like to get started with some apps for honeycomb.

If there are any fans of theoatmeal.com, I'm thinking my first honeycomb app will just be a simple viewer for his comics. Nothing complicated, just a list of comics on the side, with an image view which you can swipe to change panes in the comic and then some tabs at the top to filter(all, cats, grammar, food, animals, tech - just like on the website). I wish I could work on it this weekend but I'm leaving for my parent's in about half an hour and I don't have my laptop with me(just my galaxy tab 10.1).

Anyway, let me know what you'd like to see.

Automatic about :debug desktop view app.

A deviantart app so I can see images quicker and easier.
Acer Iconia or Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?

that's actually a good idea. It's really frustrating to have to put that in every time. Not sure how to do it exactly, but I doubt it would be too hard.

I've never used deviantart myself but that is something I could look into.

I'm thinking of trying to make an app that can send text messages when connected to a phone via bluetooth. Not sure if it will happen but it should be an interesting project. I was originally planning on doing it with google's push api but that would be more work and probably isn't necessary(do you really want to receive text messages on your tablet when it's not in range of your phone? I wouldn't).

That would be useful. Heck even away from the phone would be useful for many people. When "away" SMS gets forwarded to email or gv.

I believe blackberry playbook has a lot of functionality between phone and tablet. Anything to increase the handshake between android tablet phone would be great. Even if its a chrome2phone style sending a map or website back and forth.

Default Data recorder

For some reason the 3G watchdog app doesnt work correctly on my galaxy tab 10.1v. A working app designed for the tablet would be nice, unless other people have other suggestions I could try out.
Galaxy S2 - GTI9100
RADIO - KI4
ROM: Neatrom
Kernel - Whatever comes with Neatrom

Galaxy Tab 10.1V - Love the tab, hate the Samsung and Vodafone / vodacom support.
Recovery - latest ClockWork
ROM - CM10 experimental by Pershoot with P4 modem - working beautifully

Nexus 7, Yeah Baby!!! - Paranoid Android 3.55.

On the desire hd stock msg application you can do this. Just press the menu button in the sms app and you get an advanced menu

I'm a student and would like to see more apps that I could use like the notebook app for the htc flyer. Something that looks professional and simple. Like having a word document on your tab. There's a few out there but none that are entirely convincing. From what i've heard there are apps for other tabs that can record lectures, have word recognition, among other really awesome things. Assus has a decent app for it too I guess, but i'd like to see it on the galaxy tab 10.1 forsure.
