Well now that Feisty is out I began thinking about the great new things it has, and the great things it could or should have, but it doesn't.

First thing that came to my mind is Mathusalem (http://tw.apinc.org/weblog/2006/08/22). It was such a great idea, having all the information about ongoing processes together in the notification area where they belong, out of the way. So nifty, so elegant.

Then I realised that there haven't been any news on Mathusalem for half a year, and started wondering if it will ever come true. It makes me kinda sad to see such good projects go to waste, but I guess those things just happen. So, what was the app you were excited about but never saw the light, or never was as great as it could have been?

Oh, that one looked so good. Such a pity.
