inSSIDer

Just been into doing a lot of wireless site surveys and demos... I was thinking it would be sweet to have some sort of wifi info app such as inSSIDer for doing site surveys with. Seems like i heard something about the TCP IP stack not being accessible, I don't really know anything about programing... If this is an issue, does Microsoft have any plans for allowing access to this part of the os. it would also be nice to be able to ping locally on a wifi network, as well as telnet...

I searched for a post regarding this to make sure it wasn't already requested so I hope I'm not reposting an idea that has already been discussed.

USB Mass Storage is not an option natively with WP7 so would it be possible to make an App (sideloaded or on the Marketplace) that has a designated area of the WP7's storage for storing whatever types of files a user wants? It would not need to allow use of these files for other applications, just so a person can store files on one PC and recall them on another... basically a USB Mass Storage device that can only be seen by a PC, not by the phone's other resources.

LG Voice To Text

Hi everybody, think i put this in the wrong thread the first time. But was looking to see if anybody figured anything with the LG Voice to Text app, wondering if it is possible to make the app available to other Windows Phones? Any thoughts??

IS there a streaming app?

As this is a windows phone I kind of assumed it would better my Nokia N900 and have the ability to connect to my PC using WiFi and stream my music or videos like my N900 does. I open the media player select my PC and can see all my windows media player shares and play them.

Sadly this seems not to be a feature of devices, only the N900 does it as standard.

Is there an app that can do this?

What about a app that lets you look at the system files on the phone? Kinda like a "iFile" on the iPhone. Where you can manually go in and delete certain items, move them to different locations and/or add files in?

I would LOVE a shopping ap that has location/gps built in. Not for navigation per say but as far as using it to pop up a reminder.

In the ap you could put "pick up milk, better, eggs" and have it stored in a Walmart category

Then you could have USB cable, Hard drive, etc and have that stored in a CompUSA category

Socks, Shoes at a Target Category

The lists could be endless...

As you come close to a "Walmart" the notification could then pop up saying pick up bla bla bla. For each store any time you come close to one a different reminder could pop up reminding you you need to pick up whatever specific items you put in that stores category. It would be really cool to just be driving around and be passing a walmart and have that pop up come up... Might even work for all the locations of the stores so no matter what one you are driving by the pop up would still show up untill you check the stuff off as purchased.

I know myself I would find something like this INSANELY handy. A lot of the times I have things I need but never go out specifically for just those items. I know I find it really frustrating knowing I meant to pick up something one day and drove past the store 3 times and never went in.

This would be one super super complicated ap I'm sure but well worth it I think.

What do I want from my Windows Phone?

Wireless and/ or USB tethering.
Voice-to-text for everything from searches to SMS.
Official Google and YouTube apps. YouTube should be fully integrated and it should be as easy to upload a video to YouTube (or Facebook) as it is to share photos to your SkyDrive or Facebook.
I'd love all the other Google apps and maps.
Bing had turn-by-turn voice navigation on Windows Mobile just recently. Why not on WP??
Also, I'd love it if we could set your position on the map to be shown as an arrow pointing either North with a rotating map or if the arrow is relative to the direction you are traveling which leads me to...
A good compass app. The HTC one on my last HD2 was great.
Also, I think it would be cool if we had a WebMD symptom checker app. I'm a new father and always go nuts wondering if my baby's showing symptoms of being sick or not and a symptom checker like the one on www.webmd.com would be great.

I have other ideas for apps but those I'm saving for myself if I decide to start making apps soon.

We need a LED Flashlight app!

I have a Dell Venue Pro and I can't take advantage of it's LED flash on the camera.

All the flashlight apps I see on the market are only white screen types

Export My Maps from Google to Bing

Google allows for export of individual maps to KML. Seems like a perfect chance to create an app that simply imports (and maybe even syncs) your Google maps to Bing Maps since it appears as though we shouldn't expect Google Maps/Navigation any time soon.
