As far as a good music player goes, I'd like to see one which was optomised for use with the screen closed.
By this I mean with a better interface from the external controls or the remote control. It would be neat to be able to switch playlists without opening the Zaurus. The stop key could be used when the player was already stoped to change mode or something.
I used to have a panasonic walkman[sic] which could could be operated with just one button on its remote control. You had to either press and hold the button or double click it and it would make a corresponding beep to let you know what it was doing.
Since the Z is a bit smarter than my old personal stereo would it be possible to use a speach synth to tell me what playlist I was on, etc. I may be getting a bit carried away now.
Other ideas would be an option to switch processor speed to the powersaving option when playing and then back to what ever was set before when stopped. When I'm listening to music on my Z its usually in my pocket and not doing anything else anyway.
Also I'd like to see a player which could play two or tracks without a pause between them, maybe this could be done by using two copies of mplayer.
What ever happens its good to see that there's a future for a QT Rom.
