Everything on Benjamin Deering's list, plus:

* A calendar app that displays contact's birthdays (with alarm or some
  other notification beforehand) and synchronises with a calendar
  stored on my server
* A contact app that syncronises with a contact database stored on my
  server
* An email client that allows easy access to a large number of IMAP
  folders
* Easy mesh networking, possibly using B.A.T.M.A.N.

Bear in mind that I don't have a Freerunner or a Phoenux so I don't know
whether any of these items exist already.
