I would agree with that. What I would like to see is reporting issues to the developers made trivial. At the moment, if I want to report a bug, I wait till I get home and then access Launchpad from my laptop to file a bug (sometimes days or weeks later, if I remember at all). There are two issues I can initially think of that could be solved by an app. Firstly, I should be able to immediately report a bug without having to navigate to Launchpad and have to work out my login details. I believe you login to Launchpad with an Ubuntu One account, therefore this can be easily solved with a webapp using UOA and skipping the login screen. Secondly, there are a large number of different projects/components and most users have no idea what component to register a bug against. There are various approaches that might help solve this. Firstly, having a list of projects which are associated with the phone, and ensuring every project has a one line description that clearly explains to an end user what the component does would be a good start. The app could then also be augmented to allow selecting an app on the phone, or clicking a component on the screen to suggest possible projects that may be responsible. Another idea is some kind of natural language/machine learning algorithm which parses the bug report and suggests which components may be responsible for the issue.
