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.

I had the voyager before the storm and you where able to check messages from voice recognition I say messages and it would open my messages blank screen and I could just start typing that would be great for blackberry. Like VoicenavIT for the palmtreo

(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!!
