Hi all,

With just seeks until the new iPhone is released (of which one I will be getting), I have started to do some development for the iPhone. What i'm really after though is ideas for apps that people would/might find useful and would use.

So, what do you plan on using the iPhone for and is there a piece of software (can be a really specific piece or not) that you would really like to see on the iPhone? Think "MyDreamApp" but for iPhone.

A descent pdf reader and a firefox port would be nice.

Some kind of dropbox interaction would be amazing.

edit:

A descent pop3 mail client would be useful as well. The default one is crap.
 
GPS recorder to record your location to a standard .gpx file. gpx files can be used in many geo apps like googe earth etc to show you where you went and your speeds and all that. Useful for photographers to be able to geo stamp all their images as well.
 
You developing with the offical SDK? I'm currently doing some stuff with the unofficial toolchain (saurik's). Iphone dev is fun \o/
 
Yeah, i'm just wrapping my head around 'Normal' Cocoa at the moment then when I get my iPhone in july i'll switch over to Cocoa Touch.

Got a couple of ideas for 'small' apps at the moment, but those are mainly for personal use as I don't think the market for them would be big enough to spend time fully tidying them up and getting them release / charging worthy!
 
How difficult is Cocoa? Have some free time and want to write an iPhone app for personal use just to say I can really! :p
 
Depends on what you already know. If you already have a decent foundation in Java, C or C++, then Objective-C and Cocoa are pretty straight forward, and once you understand how the square brackets work, you'll be laughing.

Take a look at http://developer.apple.com and have a look at the language tutorials.
