Applications you'd like to see on AppStore

Spleen Sauce · 14 Jul 2008 at 17:06

As per the title really, what applications would you like to see come to the App Store?

I'd like a good Wordpress client (there's one in production, hopefully it'll get released soon). I'd also like to see an MSN client, AIM is alright but none of me mates really use it.

What would you like to see?

Windows Media Centre remote would be cool... but i dont think i have much hope with that one!

Not sure if this exists already, but I'd like an application that integrates the birthdays stored against my contacts with the calender so I can see when they are approaching.

Birthdays within address book on my mac are automaticaly placed in iCal, and hence synced to my phone.

If you're on Windows, I'm sure outlook does the same thing

Radio time browser integrating into ical
MSN client

Maybe not, it doesn't scrobble.

The SCUMM client for iPhone 2G worked really well on jailbroken iPhones. I wonder if they'll go legit. I'm guessing not, unless they get commitment from whoever owns the rights to the games

SooTyLaD · 17 Jul 2008 at 10:52

This whole jailbroken thing, there seems to be a lot of advantages that are unrelated to the simlock etc...

is it worth it for someone who is happy on o2 @ £35 (never saw much of a problem with the tariffs tbh, 500/600 and unlimited internet is a decent deal i reckon) to jailbreak the phone? does it open up a whole new world of software you can install? does it actually do anything detrimental?
