I hope this is done carefully. One of the worst misfeatures of Qtopia (Zaurus) was that it flattened the filesystem into a single virtual directory, without subdirectories. So it was really slow, and it broke the user's hierarchy.

Personally, I'd rather have virtual directories constructed from metadata, than metadata extracted from my directories.

Those "virtual directories" are called "tags". :)

You can also use the built-in (and automatically generated) timeline if the data is meaningfully distributed through time.
