How about an automatic way to separate "grouped" cards to avoid the transparent press and move function? What about something similar to ALT TAB switching in windows? I actually find that I am getting tired of constantly swiping the screen just to get to another function.

On a separate note, I have noticed that by the end of the day, the pad can get slow and unresponsive. My experience tells me this is some type of memory caching accumulation and the ram needs to be flushed. Is there a way to add that function?

A patch for rtf files in Quickoffice would be great, as would plugins for the browser. A utility to control just type features would be very practical, as would built in encryption.

I hope this list isn't too much, but I love this tablet and need just a little more control over my work. Thanks

ps
what about replacement batteries? Webos needs tablets that still run.

HP0, I like the idea about the auto-spell toggling functionality.

And I have the same feeling about the OS slowing down at the end of the day. Did you try JSTop yet? I think this is some functionality that will upgrade the OS.

Also the card navigation functionality is very important! We already have it on the phones, so why not add multi touch gestures for doing that on the TP?

The global minimise functionality is already there by swiping up from the bottom of the screen, which in my opinion is well thought and sets webOS apart from the others. I think a globalised minimise button will be a restrictiveness for developers. I don’t know how other OS’s handle that, but I think it’s build in there, so no problems porting apps to other platforms.

native music player (or any music player) to recognise a various artists album as one album and not separate each artist into its own album.

random play music from all albums or selected albums.

spell checker, dictionary, thesaurus options for just type.

typing in a word would bring up the quick actions, launch and search options depending what you want to check then tap for the result.

Sounds like a pretty damn good idea for an application, really.
