3 iPhone apps I’d really like to see

The App Store is stuffed to the gills with all kinds of apps – but I firmly believe there could be more.

Many more.

Until every aspect of my life is capable of utilizing my iPhone, there’s room for improvement. So listen up, app developers – I don’t want to hear about any devs sleeping or playing Bejeweled until all of these apps have been created, coded, and submitted to the store.

iMassage – Few people know this trick, but it’s already possible to use your iPhone as a back massager. However, this requires placing your iPhone, in silent mode, on your back and then calling your phone from another phone, over and over again. I don’t know about you, but this just reeks of inefficiency. With this proposed app, the iPhone’s vibrate function is transformed into a therapuetic massage device. Later versions could also include a shut-down timer, but the first release would likely just run until the battery drained.

LatestAndGreatest – Never again will iPhone users have to be even a millisecond behind in acquiring new Apple hardware when it is released. This complex app would monitor all rumor sites for upcoming refreshes of the iPhone, the MacBook Pro, and the iPad and automatically start deducting money from the user’s bank account into an holding area. Another process in the app monitors the Apple Store website for the “temporarily down” screen, which would trigger a transfer of the escrowed money into a debit account set up for this purpose. The moment that the new device is listed on the Apple Store website, the software automatically places an order on behalf of the user. A “pro” version of the app would also shutdown your old MacBook upon receipt of the new device, and email your boss with a “I’m too sick to come into work today” message on days with Apple keynotes/special events.

BeCool - One of the main reasons to use social media sites is to appear cool to the people who made fun of you in high school. This app uses Twitter to determine where celebrities near you are congregating – it then generates a FourSquare check-in on your behalf for those venues, and scrapes Flickr for photos taken at that venue, which are then posted to your Facebook wall under “mobile photos”. All the while, you sit at home watching LOST.

What do you think? What life-changing iPhone apps are just sitting in the wings, waiting eagerly to improve our lives in immeasurable ways?
