BTW

All you guys who wanted on the spot 'coupons' sent to nearby consumer? the technology is now primed.

Set up a service that the companies want to send ads to people near by, charge the companies the consumer can op in on the fly.
Right now, I should be able to walk into a mall, look at my smart phone, and see a series of deals for companies I've chosen to sens me. A simple RSS feeder would do. Don't, DO Not, send adds in some banner. People will hate it.
Nation wide, this will make money.

I could set this up and get it going for 4 million and have it nation wide and in wide use in 3 years.

My email is in my profile in the About Me section on the left side.

More mobile Games

I couldn't get the idea of mobile games out of my head, so I thought I'd jot down a few more.

Random rate, where you take a picture of someone, guess there score and send it to a series of friends your social network and see how close you get to the average.

You could use it in LARPing, but once "combat" has begun, it's all done through the computer.

You could play 'tag'. A bunch of people that are going to be in an area sign up, one person is it, when they get close to someone else, then they are it. the last person it looses, the person the computer chooses to be it needs to be tagged again. I have it on good authority, My 10 and 8 year olds, that tag backs aren't aloud.

Same thing, only with hide and sneak.

and of course, Delta Apple..but I don't need to explain that one.

Vibrating directions, and more.

There needs to be an App for the iPhone where you tell it where you need to walk to and stick it in your pocket.
It vibrates one way, turn left, another turn right. So you walk down the street and seem to know where you are going. No more looking down to see where you are instead of looking at the nice people on the street.

Also, you could have one that sends a tone to your headset..or even better, says "Hot" or "Cold" as per the directions of that game.

You could have a game where once every minute you are told if you are hotter of colder to some one else, and every 90 seconds the person you are looking for is notified that that are hotter and colder.
Two people could find each other easily, or turn it into a hunter/hider game.

Perhaps some sort of real person city wide Chess variant could be created?
Remember the game Assassin? where you got a contract and tried to shoot someone with a dart gun? same deal, except you try to get within 10 feet of another player and the iPhone communicates a kill...make the kill based on a random roll, modified based on some parameters.


Of course, this could be done with any Smart phone, but I am hoping mentioning the iPhone will generate hits.

If anyone is thinking that I should write the App, they are correct. it is well within my software skill. Just send me an email and I will tell you where to mail the iPhone to...
