Requires releasing development package for libbmeipc so we can talk to that library (which exists on both maemo and MeeGo) and do things like getting information on what sort of charger is connected, how much juice is in the battery etc. Anything sensitive (i.e. "use this the wrong way and you could damage the battery") could be removed when publishing this package.	+	* Proper ability to query all aspects of battery status (including on MeeGo).

	* Cell Broadcast SMS support. Relevant bugs are https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8347 and https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10870 Code that needs releasing is source for libsms and libcsd-sms (plus headers needed to compile it). For the userspace bits, it would be ideal (but not essential) to have source code or -dev packages for the connectivity UI shared libraries (libconnui, libconnui-cellular etc). Opening up the SMS code would allow other enhancements (such as a low level method to filter SMSs before they even get written to any permanent storage). https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11923 is the relavent bug for the UI stuff.		* Cell Broadcast SMS support.

Relavent bug is https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=~~11794~~ What needs to be opened up is the source for (and required headers for) the ICD2 policy plugins (libicd_policy_) so we can understand how they work and modify/enhance them (or write our own new policy plugin).	+	Better control over which network the phone will connect to (e.g. letting you set a "home" WiFi network that it will always connect to no matter what.

Relavent bug is this https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11794 There is open source code for this http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-middleware/mce in the MeeGo repositories but it is not a match for the Maemo version and is missing pieces required to use it with Maemo.		*Better control of various hardware components such as accelerometer, keypad lighting, status LED, vibrator, screen brightness and others.
