Planned features:

Location service

• We have a simple location service implemented. It needs to be refactored and some information like speed should be added.
• Geocoding and reverse geocoding
• More control over the data returned (accuracy, update interval, +++)

Accelerometer

• Common wrapper for accelerometer data. Need to make sure they are similarly scaled.
• Recognize some actions like shaking and turning (in the future)

Camera access

• Capture images and videos. Also include the ability to select existing images and videos?
• Need to return a common image format. Maybe implement WriteableBitmap on all platforms? Should investigate other options.
• Control camera settings

Local database

• We have an implementation of sqlite that runs on WP7 and an ORM (sqlite-net) that runs on top of it
• Needs improved control of where we store the database.

Web requests

• Make sure web requests are handled async.
• We may be able to use the existing frameworks, but may want to write wrappers to force a specific pattern.

Settings

• Expose settings in a common manner
• Allow reading and writing of settings

Sound recording

• Recording of sounds and selection of already recorded sounds
• Ensure that audio is captured in a common format

Phone and messaging functions

• Make calls, send messages, send email

Local file system

• Hide the fact that wp7 uses isolated storage
• Create and manipulate files and folders
