    I am doing market research for a project relating to mobiles.
    Part of it is around uses of pda etc. So I was wondering what are peoples thoughts on the types of applications people would find usefull that are not available for the iphone?

    But that's hardly an application, that's a feature of the phone that is missing.

    To enable transfer of files/photos the phone needs to allow it so that software can be written.

    Personally, I would like to see a proper navigation application that gives turn-by-turn directions like regular sat navs.

    A DART timetable with live status updates, like the apps for the London Underground. I believe the data is available from the DART website and there are a couple of apps that allow you to encode timetables, but I don't have the technical skills (or the time!) to do that myself.

    Linux or rockbox with full hardware support. iphonelinux needs a lot more work. if they could have a driver for that virtual laser keyboard thingy it would almost be a usable phone

    the apple OS on it is pants

    Excellent. Thanks for your input. Please Keep the suggestions coming. Do many people use the phone for work related activities and are they app that would benefit a work scenario

    Something that would do this:

    http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/

    (a keyboard projected onto a desk that works with the phone, so you could write on it when out).

    There's another thread here:
