ePhone

So I have started on learning Actionscript 3 and Flash CS5. This will enable me to make iPhone and Android apps using the same code. That should be nice. I am thinking about evolving the RideSearch web app into an actual iphone/android app but I am not sure if it is worth it. Also, my one click maintence diet app is also in the works. I wonder what I should do first. I probably won't gain any money from it, but I will have experience.

Speaking of Apps, Jotnot Pro still tops my list of most useful iPhone Apps. It is just like having a scanner around when I need it. It turns any picture into an Adobe PDF that looks like it was scanned in. Then instead of faxing it to someone I just email it. I get a record of it and don't have to use a fax machine. The hard thing is you have to hold it steady and get the camera aligned. What if I invented a metal phone holder that was a foot high that allows the user to put their phone on it and take flat square pictures. That is a good idea, although it would have to go hand in hand with the app. I think the developer of that app should create it. I'd buy it.

Netflix is the next useful app I use. At lunch I will watch a show or something. Now they have added the ability to plug your phone into a TV and stream movies to a TV from your phone. That is pretty cool. Netflix has added more movies and TV shows. I think the era of DVD collections is coming to a close. It is nice to have DVDs but they can be scratched and then you lose all that information. Anyways, I hear the Windows phone is coming out next week. It is really built for people who check facebook and twitter alot. It is like a social network phone. Let's see if it lasts.
