iPhone. Now I REALLY want one.

March 6th, 2008 | Filed under Apple, Ideas, Technology

Long story short, Apple introduced a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the iPhone today. This allows 3rd-party software developers to write their own fully-featured applications for you to add to your iphone. Andy Ihnatko‘s idea of using the acceleratormeter as a pedometer got me thinking.

I want a bike riding distance/speed app.

Use the built in psuedo GPS to gestimate how far I’m riding my bike, then use a start/stop feature that is hooked up to when I start/stop the music on the iphone to figure out speed over distance. Oh and give me a Google Map to link to showing how (not) fast I am.

I wish I wrote programs…any developers out there listening…Jim? ;)
