G1: software I want to be using but can't find / doesn't exist.

G1: software I want to be using but can't find / doesn't exist.

I even downloaded the android SDK but there is no way I have the time to learn how to use it and write my own apps, so anyone out there wanting to make some pocket-money writing android apps, write these and I will be your first customer.

Notes that sync.
I like making notes on my phone, ideas, shopping lists, to-do lists etc. What I want is a widget/app that does this that is accompanied by a windows app that sits on my computers desktop and syncs between the two places.
Please make me an app that does this!

GPS Tagging.
I'm a photographer and often scouting locations, I'm sure this one is valuable for other people too.
I want either some software (if it can acquire it's location within 1 minute) or a widget (if it can't) that will save a location when I hit a button, this needs to be fairly quick as I might spot a location by going past it on a train, I want that location to be saveable to mymaps on google maps or just onto google maps on my phone for later review. if there was a way of attaching a taken photograph(s) to said tag on google maps / mymaps then we're onto something.
Please make me an app that does this!

Gmail.
I liked the widget that said how many unread email i had, only there were over 40,000 as I don't read them all on my phone and they are not marked as read on my PC via thunderbird. I want a widget that shows me how many emails have arrived since I last looked a the gmail interface, thus not including any I've decided not to open on my phone.
Please make me an app that does this!

Signal Widget.
I really like Batterylife, I want something similar, showing me the strength of my signal and type of connection (2G, 3G, etc etc etc) that ought to be simple. I want it sitting on my desktop as a widget taking up no more than 2 spaces horizontally (so it can compliment the battery widget).
Please make me an app that does this!

RSS
A simple rss app that will alert me when there is a new item and, when opened, show me either the headline or the whole shebang. running in the background using few resources and updating at customisable intervals. also as a widget that shows the last update and, when tapped, all of the last updates for different feeds or the last few if a single feed. please.
Please make me an app that does this!

notification light
I know that the notification light can be made to flash at different rates and different colours. I want to customize all of this, I want it to flash green for sms, blue for gmail and yellow for email,
I want it to flash red when the battery is low and constant red when charging and constant green when fully charged. I want it to alternate with all of those colours if I have emails, gmails, sms, charging etc so I know whats what even when it's plugged in.
Please make me an app that does this!

Battery and charging widget
I like the Batterylife Widget but would like a couple of additions, as well as / instead of a % how about a predicted timescale based on current average drain showing how long until the phone shuts down? and when it's plugged in, how long until 100% based on the current of the feed.
Please make me an app that does this!

Clock screensaver
I have seen clock screensavers, I want one that I can preset the brightness as standard and preset the brightness it jumps to when I tap the screen, and how long before it goes back again. also I want to be able to set the colours of the foreground and background including full black and full white. I want to have customizable information on there including the current time, date, day, battery state, number of sms, gmail, email, countdown to any alarm set.
and I want there to be two profiles, one for plugged in and one for on battery.
also preset orientation so it will stay landscape even when I put it down or pick it up at an odd angle.
tapping the screen lights it up to x brightness for x length of time. pressing menu brings up the unlock screen.
Please make me an app that does this!

I'd also like to add more desktops without having to go through the whole widget-compatibility-nightmare of changing to another home-screen system, so thats one for the android folks please, options for a couple more desktops.

And do something about that whole internal memory thing, either expand it (ok, hardware issue) or, like nokia, ask where apps are installed to, internal memory or memory card, and let us decide which need the read/write speed of internal memory and which will live happily on the sd card.
