My big wishlist item for today is an implementation of libconic for
scratchbox. It could use network-manager.

Debugging connection requests and disconnects is incredibly awkward on
the device only. You have to use an xterm because you can't ssh in,
because the whole point is that the connection is going up and down and
changing to different Access Points.

The best applications for the internet tablet will be ones that work well with
the network. So that needs to be easier to develop.
