Bluetooth Headphones/headsets Wizard  
Written by ezekiel_000 the 14 Nov 08 at 14:21. New
The bluetooth applet needs an additional wizard to set up bluetooth headphones/headsets and an easy way to switch between the two audio options:
1: Standard Output
2: Bluetooth Headphones

This would be great to see in the applets drop down menus as at the moment the tutorials I have seen require you to load kernel modules and then run a couple of commands in the terminal to start the bluetooth sound.

Inclusion of gnome-bluetooth on CD  
Written by JamesGoode the 16 Jul 09 at 21:57. New
It seems silly to have only partial Bluetooth support; sending and pairing devices is currently possible, but receiving files is not without installing the required packages manually.

We should think about a better way to organize our work on Ubuntu  
Written by paupoo the 21 Sep 09 at 00:44. New
Hi there, somethink I can reproach with Ubuntu (if I compare with what I do on Mac OS X), is the way we can manage our time, our contacts, our mails and our meetings.
Today, most of the people have a handy with calendar, notes, to do lists and contact features. Most of these devices use the bluetooth technology or an USB connection with the computer. It would be great if we could synchronize our agenda (meetings, dates, birthdays...), our contacts (phone number, email address, address...), our notes and our to do lists with any mobile phone, smartphone, iPhone or netbook. How many times do we record a date or a precious information on our phone that we need to copy in our agenda or in our contacts list? That very fastidious at this time, because we need to do it manually in both sense.

Solution #1: Create an open source "iSync" and do better
Written by paupoo the 21 Sep 09 at 00:44.
With Mac OS X, there is iSync, a powerful tool which helps configuring the link between the computer and the mobile device and the synchronisation of the data.
Shouldn't we think about developing an open source platform which would at least propose the basis of the synchronisation. This would be an open standard for the data coming from the computer (so from Thunderbird, Evolution, Tomboy, anything else) AND with the phones. Because this program should be open source, only 2 actors would have something to work on: 1st the distributions - here Ubuntu ;) - which would have to integrate and to improve the synergies between mail, contact, calendar, notes (and so on) programs with the synchroniser; and secondly the phones and notebook manufacturers, which could know very easily how the sync program works and to include in their firmware/program the protocol.

This way, we could benefit from synchronising without suffering from the charge of supporting all the different models that exist and that will come on the market and in the other way, because all the manufacturer would have to do is going on the website's project and to get the documentation/specifications of the platform, and every developer would only have to do, is to interact with the sync program, as with an API.

Then Ubuntu Users should be at term able to sync their data on the web, for working on any pc, but also on their mobile device.
