+OpenStreetMap editor for mobile devices
+---------------------------------------
+[JOSM](http://josm.openstreetmap.org) and [Merkaartor](http://merkaartor.be/)
+are really nice programs for editing OpenStreetMap data on the desktop, and
+[OSMTracker](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMtracker) is acceptable for
+Windows Mobile devices. However, OSMTracker is very inflexible when it comes
+to tagging abilities. So a perfect mobile application would combine the best
+of both worlds:
+
+  * displaying the raw XML data, maybe in real-time via mobile internet 
+    connection
+  * displaying the rendered map
+  * recording a GPX track
+  * take pictures if the mobile device features a camera
+  * serve as a voice recorder
+  * adding and tagging nodes, ways, and maybe relations in a key=value manner
+    * maybe allow presets for different objects, like JOSM has. These could be
+      implemented like the customizable buttons in OSMTracker.
+    * auto-completion for keys and values would be great for people like me 
+      who cannot remember actual tag names...
+    * The absolute killer feature would be the ability to automatically import
+      the changed data into desktop software like JOSM/Merkaartor, and export 
+      diffs.
