Default Boating iphone apps
In article 74eeb41f-086c-4dd5-a33f-ed63b44c2145
@w19g2000yqk.googlegroups.com, says...

Although I not only work with high tech but also invent it, I am
somewhat of a luddite having never sent a text message or even looked
at a "tweet"

Oh, oh, Harry will be all over this. He thinks anyone who doesn't spend
their day on usenet and cut and paste stolen pics to the net, can't know
anything about computer systems. Remember, Harry installed windoze 7 all
by himself, uses a Mac for Internet and pics, and installed a HDD and
ram into a computer last year. Only took him three months and he called
it a "server"... snerk Hope those guys are mocking him irrelevant

and iphones were far off my personal radar but at
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.

At the same time, I wonder if the same apps would work with my laptop.
It has the motion detector built in to protect the HDD already, but I
don't know if you want to hook the built in mic up to your chest There
are lots of apps out there, maybe you will find them already done, but
check it out. I don't know what the guys who write apps get out of it, I
don't know if there is freeware too.. I should ask the wife, she has one
of those. My phone is big and made of bright yellow rubber so it's can
bounce around a bit more than hers... But it doesn't have the touch
screen.
