Functions I'd like to see in the next MyTalk for Era

[jeffreytz]

OK so now that we have the accellerometer, what I'd like to see is a MyTalk app that has a list of "functions" or gestures that can be user set to a corresponding list of functions. On the gesture side, here's what I'd like to have:

Tap

double-tap (exists today to pick up/hang up)

Tap down

Tap up

double tap down

double tap up

shake

double shake

Talk button (not a gesture, but somethign that's still configurable, which it is today)

Hold-Talk button

I'd like the gestures to be configurable between "phone" and "A2DP" modes (i.e. the gestures are configured for one set of command when in phone mode (incoming call, on a call) - and A2DP (using any A2DP application). Long term it would be great if the Era could distinguish between different A2DP applications and the functions mapped to the gestures could be uniquly configured by application (i.e. the music player, podcast player, etc.).

There are the "commands" I'd like to see that could be mapped to the gestures:

Phone-mode

Pick up call (exists today)

Hang up call (exists today)

Dismiss incoming call (exists today)

Mute

Volume up

Volume down

NoiseAssassin on/off toggle (exists today)

A2DP-mode

Pause/Play toggle

Fast Forward

Next Track

Rewind

Previous Track

Mute

Volume Up

Volume Down

If my version of MyTalk existed today, here's how I'd map my device:

Phone-Mode

Tap = Mute

Double-tap = pick up/hang up (flash) - same as today

tap down = volume down

tap up = volume up

double tap down = dismiss call (easier than press & hold Talk button)

double-shake = pair (same as today)

A2DP-Mode

Tap = pause/play toggle

tap down = fast forward

tap up = rewind

double tap down = next track

double tap up = previous track

Talk-button = intitiate phone mode/voice dial

Just some initial thoughts
