Vox Pop: What's on your iPhone app wish list?
Merlin Mann | Oct 17 2007
Now that Steve has announced there’s an iPhone/iPod Touch SDK coming in February, what’s at the top of your application wish list? The Question to YouWhat’s the first application for iPhone you’d like to see? Where’s the biggest hole in your iPhone world right now? Perhaps not surprisingly, I’m hoping for a great, sync-able, no-internet-required task management application. Can’t wait to see what my OmniFocus pals come up with. 68 Comments

Doesn't the iPhone/Touch already have that feature?Submitted by bradwilks on October 17, 2007 - 10:29am.
Isn’t the predictive text thingy pretty much the same thing? »
Corrector, not predictorSubmitted by Tarek on October 17, 2007 - 2:43pm.
I think it’s more of a corrector than a predictor - I’ve found that it will rarely offer up a word with more letters than how many are already entered. »
I get it now, and your right iPhone/Touch needs TextexpanderSubmitted by bradwilks on October 18, 2007 - 10:45am.
I decided to actually use Textexpander and yeah, the iPhone/Touch needs it. I’ve found been able to write “eemail” instead of writing my email address a god-send. »

 My kingdom for sshSubmitted by schof on October 17, 2007 - 9:05am.
SSH, by the way, that doesn't travel through someone else's application server, giving them the opportunty to steal my username and password.

+1. Definitely the killer app for nerdly types. The prospect makes me really want an iPod touch. That, an an iTunes remote. »
Tip Calculator FTW!Submitted by kevind on October 17, 2007 - 9:13am.
I'd love to see a tip calculator! lol j/k of course. ;) I'm with w00master. I'd like to see a lot of apps that work offline and sync to something online. I don't have plans for an iPhone, but I do have eyes on an iPod Touch and that type of functionality is almost required on that device. The biggest thing the iPhone needs is some business syncing support. Not being able to sync mail, calendars, and other things in the corporate world is a pretty big hole. I also think it would be fun to do a complete live edit of a web site ala something like cyberduck and textmate from my new apple pocket computer. But that's just the nerd in me coming out. »
