In my previous post - 3G iPhone Software Requests, I outlined a few of the programs I would like to see developed for the iPhone. It appears that part of my last item will be released quite soon. TUAW is reporting that Apple is going to release a program that will allow the iPhone to connect to your iTunes software and control the program much like Salling Clicker. The software is supposed to be released by Apple and it will be available for download from the iTunes iPhone Applications section. One program down, about 5 left.
The new 3G iPhone is just around the corner and the firmware update is coming too. There are qute a few companies working to develop new software for the phone and there are probably a lot of programs that are being kept under tight wraps. I have a handful of software requests that I feel would be quite useful.
1) Gas Buddy + Google Maps - I would like to see an application that interfaces Gasbuddy with Google maps. It would be nice to see all the nearby gas stations on a map with the current gas prices. Then the GPS can navigate you to the station of your choosing - probably the one with the cheapest gas.
2) Delivery Status for iPhone - I do a lot of online shopping and I like to know where my packages are and when they will be delivered. I use Delivery Status all the time and it would be great to have that convenience on the iPhone.
3) Terminal Services Client for iPhone - I frequently remote into some of my personal machines and having the ability to do that with the iPhone would be very helpful.
4) Remote Desktop for iPhone - Much like #3 above, I would like to see a version of Remote Desktop released for the iPhone. It would be great to be able to log in and take control of my Macbook Pro where ever I am. This would allow me to have much higher productivity without having to drag my laptop everywhere I go (even float trips).
5) Salling Clicker for iPhone - I would love to see Salling Clicker released for the iPhone. I use clicker pretty frequently on my Treo 700P.
If I see even a couple of these applications released, I will be quite the happy camper. I would have no problem paying for any of these iPhone applications.
I just wanted to point out that the 16gb Apple iPhone is now available through Apple’s website. View the 16GB iPhone detail online at apple’s store.
The new 16GB iPhone is selling for $499 and the 8gb model is $399.
