Default Most needed, absent software apps?
What is blatantly missing in BB world? For me, it's:
Skype (I only need text chat)
Picasa
Wordpress

I know there are workarounds, but I can't believe there are not official, well-integrated apps for these!

Wordpress application for sure, such as the iPhone one..as you stated many work arounds are available but to have a native application would be sweet!

A lot of Wordpress plugins are available..for example..I use the following on my site..

MobilePress - Enable The Mobile Web - For mobile "looking" websites.

WPhone Admin Plugin - To allow for Mobile Administration of the site.

All of which are very effective work arounds, but still not as effective as a native application would be.

Picasa App will be great!

And I would love the ability to add videos, pictures and add content to my blog via my storm, but I have not found a good way.

I would also like a way to access you company contact managment program Goldmine when I am on th road.

As long as there is a Skype app (which we now know there will be), that offers chat on EDGE/GPRS and voice (WiFi), there is nothing else i need.

(If that's even possible)

oh The fonts that come with the storm are Boringis it possible to have an app that allows a change in fonts!!
