iPhone apps
iPhone apps I expect to see within 2 minutes of the official drop date in June:
- a tip calculator
- a todo list
- a pong/tetris/bejeweled clone
- a blog posting app
- an app to add stupid decals, like mustachios and hats, to photos of your friends. I think a “fail” stamp would also be necessary
- a RSS reader (eh, google? can i expect a Google Reader app?)
Webapps that may be more useful/nicer with a custom app interface:
- Netflix (queue manager plz!)
- flickr
- Twitter (i think Twitterific is on top of this already)
- Tumblr? It’s already pretty nice in web form
- Trading sites: goozex(video games), Lala(CDs)
- Custom site search. I.e., an app that serves as a springboard for searching a wide variety of sites, just so you don’t have to load the entire homepage for the target site to initiate a search (wikipedia, imdb, netflix)
Some simple ideas I will fling out into the ether for anybody who wants to do the work:
- soundboards: make prank calls and amuse or annoy your friends
- a rotary phone dial interface for the iPhone
- an app that uses 2D barcodes to let you exchange your contact info with another iPhone user. You take a photo of their barcode and decode it, and the app can generate your barcode which they can take a photo of.
- a Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy themed wikipedia interface, which says “Don’t Panic” when you launch it.
Please, oh you developers with free-time, don’t let me down.
