A keyboard with swipe typing, multilingual autocorrect and speech to text support that actually works.

Other than that, my only proprietary apps are from commercial services I use and pay for (banking, Spotify, Carsharing and public transport). I'd love for them to become open source, but it's probably not ever gonna happen, cause they rely on verifying my identity.

Japanese has been an open issue for months now, so it's a nope from me.

X2. I don't like it, but I still use that libswype Google blob to get swipe-writing. I wish they could produce their own in the future.
