    In this post I hope to gather a complete list of all of the Apps that everyone would like to see developers create. I am putting this together in an effort to clean up the forums a bit. I will be editing this post on a regular basis so we can have everything at one spot at any given time. I will update this list either by your contributions to this thread or by private message to myself.

    - Business Related Apps
    1. Docs To Go
    2. Mobile Office
    3. Timesheet (For tracking O.T.)
    4. Quicken Mobile

    - Game Related Apps
    1. An online MMO
    2. Phase (Or similar game)
    3. iQuiz
    4. Vortex or Block Breaker
    5. Tilt
    6. Line Rider
    7. Whack-a-Mole (Great touch app!)
    8. Bowling
    9. Darts
    10. Billiards
    11. Golf / Mini Golf / Disc Golf
    12. Tripple-Axis Asteroids!!

    - Useful Applications
    1. Photo editing software (Adobe???)
    2. Finder / Searching
    3. Video Camera
    4. Updated camera w/ expanded camera functions (zoom, negative, black/white, etc..)
    5. Skype
    6. MMS
    7. RSS Reader (One that really works well, with red dot notification on the icon for all unread feeds (like net news wire))
    8. Animal Species Nature Encyclopedia
    9. Snapstream TV (Goodbye Battery Life!!!)

    - Entertainment Applications
    1. Botanica (Used to identify plants like epocrates identifies pills)
    2. Sand
    3. Ants
    4. Magic Calculator
    5. Spy Camera (For taking pictures with the screen completly off!)
    6. Skitch

    - Utilities Applications
    1. Time Machine / Wireless Backup
    2. WiFi Song Sending (Like what the Zune can do)
    3. Bluetooth / WiFi Complete Wireless syncing
    4. File Management System
    5. Mobile Finder
    6. Wireless File Transfer System for Disk Mode (Like Data Case)

    TOTAL APPS TO GO: 39!

    Again, I will update this as I get more feedback, and as the app store opens, I will remove those apps that get created, to help clean up the list. This List is both for Developers to use as a tool to see what everyone would like to see, and for everyone else to add to the growing list of anticipated Apps. The only Apps that I will not include in this list are the ones that are currently in the App Store.

    As well as adding to this list, anyone who posts a useful app idea in this thread will be thanked for their contributions.

    ants would be under fun, or useless but entertaining. LOL
    sand is the same. Not much of a game but fun.
    customize is an app that allows the general customization of wallpapers, sliders icons excetera.

    I would love a simplistic online MMO, that would be so entertaining to play while out on the go!! The only problem is the fact that it would send all your calls to voicemail while you were on it because of edge :(

    Glaring omission from our iPhones is a simple file management system like the iPod has. I REALLY want to be able to plug my iPod Camera Adapter into my iPhone to offload photos during a shoot. Yes, I know there is an app for Macs; no I don't have a Mac and I'm not jailbreaking...

    I guess related to that, and to expand on the earlier idea of photo editing software would be an import/export module for iPhone inside Adobe LightRoom.

    Magic Calculator?? I am not familar with that one either. Does it sometimes show you the answer? Does it magically pull the result out of the dock connector? Please explain what it is!

    cost wise, you would think most consumer oriented apps will be between free and 4.99. It just seems like a reasonable price. Business oriented apps, on the other hand, have reached up into the hundreds for other platforms (palm, rim) like word or excell. We will just have to wait and see. The only thing that remains certain, the less expensive the app, the more people will buy it.

    The app that Erica Sadun (I think thats her name) from TUAW made called Listen? Where you hold up your iPhone's speaker to music and it tells you info about the song playing such as Artist/Album/year etc.

    I would love to see:

    A golf game of some sort, maybe even a disc golf game ; )

    A timesheet program for keeping up with my hours a during the week for OT tracking

    An animal species nature encylopedia type program with maybe short video clips of species behavior

    Be able to sync updates and such through wifi or 3g when it comes. Would like to see the iphone fully independent in the near future, no need for docking to sync

    And that magic calculator sounds great!

    That's all.......for now of course =P
