Have a look at DataCase.

This does almost everything you're talking about......wirelessly.

Now that looks sweet.

Nice Apps like the NYT one, but for my local paper(中日新聞)

A lot of these apps that people are asking for can be done via a webapp. Most would have a short lifspan as most people, after the initial excitement of having apps, won't use most of them a lot, and don't want them taking up space on the iPhone.

The app I want to see is a wi-fi finder app. I already have a web app from jiwire.com, but I want it to be able to find me and then show me the wi-fi hotspots around me.

I like that idea as well

I haven't seen it here so..

I'm wishing for a Journal Entry program for my iPhone...

 

[Chundles]

Either a mobile version if Preview or a massive beef-up of the pdf support in the general OS.

I need some way of zooming through pages to specific spots as you can in Preview and I need to be able to search pdf files.

I would give $50 to $100 for a graphing calculator app that does just as much as my TI-84 silver.

Anyone hear if anyone's in the works for this?

Oh man I sure hope so! That would make my day having a graphing calculator on my phone. I really hope they come out with this!

I'd like an app to schedule ring style

e.g. Silent during nights, vibrate during work/school, vibrate & ring for the rest

I second this request. Unfortunately I see no way of doing it since background apps are not allowed. The closest to this I could see would be a push notification service to remind you to set your phone to silent/vibrate/ring which would defeat a lot of the purpose and would be pretty lame.

Also I'd like to see Yahtzee and a Worms style game.

The iPhone definitely needs a QR Code reader

 

[phillq23]

haven't seen one of these yet, but i think a WPM (Words per Minute) Calculator would be pretty cool. Make it with random sentences or paragraphs. Have an online top10 to see how you rank up against other iphone users. make it so errors count against how fast you type, so everytime you hit the space and it has to fix the word.


anyone else think this would be cool?

• Slingbox
• MS Word/Excel Editing
• TomTom GPS Navigation System
• NFL (like that of the MLB app, but I'm assuming there will be one closer to the start of the season)
• Better Chat Client (but I hear MobileChat is coming soon)

Possibly something that shows racetracks around the US. Detailed maps, wiki entry links, website links.

What'd be nice too if each corner, people can post entries on what they suggest for the corner (like, how fast, when to turn in, what the ideal line is).

An extra plus would be something that uses GPS to track how fast you're going around the track and start charting your times.

Business Apps wanted

Greetings:


I noticed not many of you are looking for business apps.

What type of business apps would everyone like to have?

Regards Robert

I would really like to see major supermarket chains, like Publix, release free or cheap iPhone/iPod Touch apps.

You could designate your home store, create shopping lists, browse current sales, promotions and coupons, look at the price of each item, generate a budget... so on and so forth.

Wi-Fi in stores could allow the devices to sync up to a server in store that could look at your shopping list, identify your needs, tell you which aisles you need to go down, make suggestions (i.e. upsell and cross sell) and help you pick out items you might need for a specific recipe.

Then, when you check out, the App generates a unique id and code that translates all the coupons and promotions to the POS.

Do you know there is a venture captial firm that is giving funding to iPhone specific start up firms? This sounds like the Executive Summary for your business plan!

Get on this man...this could be huge!

Most business stuff runs on Microsoft apps, right? So I agree with the people asking for iPhone versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Dataviz DocumentsToGo is probably the best example. You can't write a book or major Excel project, but you can make little edits here and there.

I'd also like an MS Project editor. Here is one I had on Palm over 7 years ago:
http://www.natara.com/projectathand2/index.cfm

I'd also like a mind-mapping or brainstorming type of software. Something that uses the features of the iPhone to help you link ideas, people, tasks, emails, calendar events, etc. It would be great to be able to touch, pinch and drag and drop an email message/Contact/Picture/Map onto a Calendar item, or into a mind map image.

My dream would be combine some of the Newton's old "Intelligence" with Sony's Clie Organizer, the short lived but very cool new PIM that Sony shipped on their last Palm device, the TH55. See here:

Linking the data on the iPhone together hasn't really been done much...we've seen integration where one app can access Google Maps or it can access your contacts. But I'm looking for real links between information.

Adium for iPhone.

It can't happen on a stock OS iPhone -- the chroot jail makes it impossible. You have to jailbreak to get usable shell access.

I think you're looking for: http://www.Trackpedia.com or http://www.na-motorsports.com

What'd be nice too if each corner, people can post entries on what they suggest for the corner (like, how fast, when to turn in, what the ideal line is).

All of which is dependent upon weight balance, brake balance, tire compound, conditions, driver skill, etc. There's no such thing as the ideal line.

An extra plus would be something that uses GPS to track how fast you're going around the track and start charting your times.

You're asking a cellphone to do the job of a $1,000 dedicated GPS/inertial datalogger. It's just not realistic. Besides, depending on session length and data fidelity (which is questionable with eGPS, as it is) the 8GB iPhone may not have enough capacity.
