Along dtp lines, how about something which will read in a picture/image colour/greyscale display it on any monitor/mode allow loads of image processing to be done and then output it in a format which all (most?) dtp/document applications can cope with. There seem to be a few commercial things around of this kind. Continuing with image processing, what about a character recognition program? Should be quite good fun. You could also try for an object drawing package. I'm sort of having a bash at this myself, but I've got side tracked now by omega... It's not boringly simple if you've never done it before (grouping objects/changing their positions/ etc.) One other thing I can think off, especially now that you can just feed sound directly into a falcon, and that's something which will process sound samples (off line), to clean them up, alter/edit them etc. Well there's loads there, generally quite a lot of work involved, but you did say "applications" above.
