somewhat of a luddite having never sent a text message or even looked

Thanksgiving, my sister showed me her iphone and some apps and I
immediately went into "inventor" mode seeing the possibilities.
Why not an app that helps id fish and keeps up withe the constantly
changing fishin regulations?
Why not an app that turns the GPS equipped phone into a chart plotter
( just found this one exists, it is called "inavx")?


Other possibilities:
For my diabetic daughter: An app to calculate carbs of a meal based
on what you eat.
An app to quickly calculate your cars mpg when you fill up.

A "stethoscope" app using the phone held to your chest.
A birdsong app identifying birds based on the calls it hears from
Fourier Analysis.


1. There are at least a bunch of iphone apps for diabetics.
2. You need an app to divide the number of gallons you buy into the
mileage since the last fill-up? Were you home schooled?
3. There is an app for "stethescoping."
4. There are also birdsong apps.

No, I don't have an iPhone.
