Here’s An Idea: Location-Aware Disposable Apps For The iPhone

July 16 at 1:01 pm - Link

Adewale Oshineye, Peter Fedin, Shark At Large, Sean McBride and 15 other people liked this

This is a fantastic idea. I was already considering storing a few static images of things like the London Underground map and other transport maps of areas I might visit. But proper apps would be even better. - Tony Ruscoe via fftogo

OMG, yes. Let's also add maps for the museum you're in (replacing the entire paper brochure). You could even have downloadable audio tours. Of course how long would it take for Netflix to come out with "take a picture of the bar code and we'll add it to your queue" when you're in a video store. Heck, Amazon should do that with everything. Yes, this could really kill local retail. - Cyrus Lendvay

wow what a great idea - I don't even have an iPhone and i think its a great idea! - Marco

That is a sweet idea - klecu

They discussed this already in relation to Starbucks and potentially Apple stores. They discussed the idea expanding beyond to other places. Currently they have an app that pops up in Starbucks inside iTunes to view recently played music. This article expands on it a bit. Old article: http://news.softpedia.com/news... - Adam Helweh

This is a good idea for any GPS equipped phone ? - Brian Sullivan

This a cool idea, but it's been talked about for years. The new things about it are 1) the iPhone and 2) that it could actually be implemented widely now. The tricky thing from a user experience point-of-view will be providing the opportunity to add apps without constantly annoying the user with the sheer volume of them (a la spam). - Chris White

There was a similar system for Palm devices some years ago: "beaming" stations which could send apps to a Palm device via IR. I tried it at the Sony Metreon, which distributed an interactive floorplan. A little Googling shows they also installed the beaming stations at Pac Bell Park and similar public locations with lots of foot traffic. - Denton Gentry

There's no need to make them as intrusive as he describes. Just tag apps with one or more sets of coordinates and allow people to filter app store searches by location. The same applies to web pages in general. There are already ways to geocode web pages. If only some search engine would let you do something useful with that... - seth

@Cyrus We (edgelab) looked at Scanbuy's technology a few years ago - does just what you are talking about. Their best application (rolled out through a shell organization...for reasons that will become apparent shortly), IMO, was this http://www.wired.com/science/d... - Ryan Kaisoglus

Dissident’s Tale of Epic Escape From Iran’s Vise - NYTimes.com

"In several lengthy interviews, Mr. Batebi provided an unusual window on Iran under its ruling clerics. His alienation began at age 9, when he witnessed a deadly stoning. He rose to fame in 1999, appearing on the cover of The Economist magazine holding the bloody T-shirt of a fellow student demonstrator — an image he first saw when a judge slapped it before him and declared, “You have signed your own death sentence.” Finally, after a decade of political combat, he reluctantly decided to abandon Iran for an uncertain exile." - Bret Taylor via Bookmarklet

Iran's tank man - I can't believe he survived and is here now. Considering my own father was arrested, imprisoned and then escaped from his home country only to never go back, I have nothing but extreme empathy for the people of Iran and what they have had to experience not just since the revolution, but with the Shah and beforehand. So much misunderstanding in the west, as we dont realize that the large majority of the world dont live with the same freedoms we enjoy and instead we demonize them as groups - Nik Cubrilovic

Duncan, whats your verdict on the white vs black? Fingerprints really noticeable? - Zee from WeDoCreative

James - pretty sure both Apple and AT&T will be doing all the activation in store for you. - Patrick Jordan

Zee, the white shows up dirty/ dusty immediately, but fingerprints aren't too bad - Duncan Riley

James, per Patrick's comment. In my case I had an existing sim, so they just handed it over - Duncan Riley

giz said it was buggy though... Did it crash on you yet? - Chad via twhirl

I'm not anti-Facebook app, I'm just saying that it doesn't replace contacts. - Chris White

Not yet. I would rather see Contacts pull from other resources. FB has the advantage (as do other sites) of having up to date information. - Dion Almaer

The login form was buggy, finally got it to work, and then the app crashed for me. - Bret Taylor

Okay, lets be clear. Facebook is never going to replace the contacts app. - Chris White

Not almost for me, my contacts lists is much more comprehensive than my facebook contacts list. - Rajiv Doshi

Chris White: For my sister-in-law it will. For some folk, FB is their contacts. Just not you and I :) - Dion Almaer

So what we need is a "Plaxo Contacts iPhone app" that layers personal and shared contact information together - but have it come from a company without the spam-baggage that Plaxo carries and the wall-garden-baggage that Facebook carries. - Jonathan Berger

I think it would be nice if everyone did get on facebook. Something like their contacts app could then pretty much solve the 'contacts' problem once and for all - Charlie via twhirl

Yeah, parents should all get on their kids Facebooks. No problem. - Chris White

Jonathan Berger, perhaps it's time to let bygones be bygones? Plenty of companies have done stupid, albeit not intentionally evil things, and gone on to offer awesome stuff. As a former Plaxo contractor, I'm biased, but I think the bloggerati haterade's been way overdone in this situation. - Adam Lasnik

Thanks, Adam! (I head up marketing at Plaxo.) Also worth noting in this space is an initiative quietly gaining serious momentum, Portable Contacts. http://portablecontacts.net/ - John McCrea

Virtual Worlds Are So Hot Right Now: $345 Million Invested So Far This Year

It's going to be interesting. Quite apart from virtual worlds, I think there's a long way to go with exploring avatars themselves. If somebody can make 3D avatars that can lipsynch with services such as skype, and are not as annoying as clippy, they might be on to something. - Jonathan Beckett

Do we need more virtual worlds? I've held business meetings in World of Warcraft (three directors and a couple of stakeholders for an oil company). People will choose the easiest tools to use and games are way in front - Craig Thomler

Crazy talk, Craig, but no doubt true. - Migger

Hosting meetings via games is a great idea. It's gotta be more fun than sitting in a conference room. - John Budnik

Business meeting in world of warcraft? or second life? Why not just have a real "face to face" video conference ? - Chris Farrugia

As many people as I've talked to about the virtual world phenomenon, not one can cogently explain to me the appeal. Craig, I second Chris' question-- why have a WoW business meeting as opposed to a videocon, a conference call, or an in-person meeting? - Harish Venkatesan

Can't go there. Would probably never come back ... much less find my way out ?! - Charlie Anzman

@Craig: I guess it's fun 'coz you can start shooting the directors if something goes wrong.... I'd suggest quake :) - Yuvi
