hey guys, do any of you have an i dea of a nice app that you've always wanted but cant make apps? i need an idea to make one please give me some suggestions. i have made a few apps now even though im new to programming. Alot of you might have downloaded my first one (i know that was real laggy and stuff). I need an idea that you think TONS of people would download and would buy for $0.99 (not that im planning to sell it).
I would most likely make one of those useless apps like some of those for the iphone (of course people wouldnt pay $0.99 for those). we just dont have many time wasters for winmo.

Thanks and ANY suggestions are appreciated.=D>

I've got a few ideas. How about a nice finger friendly photo viewer. I know slide to view hasn't been updated in awhile. If you can, give this app kinetic scrolling, like the iPhone(for phones that don't have a good photo viewer, like mine). I would suggest doing a music app, but A_C(of s2u2 fame) pretty much has that covered. Other than that, I all out of ideas. I'll make a new post if I have a new idea.

How about a camera app that allows you to take before and after pictures from the same point using a transparancy from the before pictures so you could match it up perfectly. It would be good for decorators, painters, gardeners etc... I'd pay more then a dollar for that

How about a really nice checkbook and credit card application. Something that allows you to keep track of all of you banking account needs without having to either A. carry around a checkbook, or b. pay a friggin arm and a leg just because you don't want to go into over draft.

second idea:

There used to be alot of good apps for this, but seems like since wm 6.5 came out everyone gave up on it. A vehicle maintenance app. that keeps track of you gas purchases, oil, tires, maintenance and such, and tells you what your present and average mpg is. cant ever find a good one of those any more either.

Here's one. Millions of people have netflix. Netflix has a mobile app in Marketplace- but it only allows you to pick out a movie- not watch it on your mobile phone. Netflix also streams movies to your PC but not to your PPC (mobile) because they have some sort of Silverlight based viewer. So make a little app that will allow you to stream your Netflix to your mobile phone. I would pay .99 for it.

one that lets you set a specific text ringtone for each contact

I have no idea if the TP2 has this, but my sprint diamond alrealdy has that. you can already set a specific ringtone for each person when they call (actually, im not sure if it is for text or not). Is this what you mean? If it is, PM me and il tell you how to do this. If this isnt what your talking about, PM me and tell me what you need.
Thanks

GPD enabled reminders. I can write a note to pick up milk at the store but unless I read my notes every time I get somewhere, I'm not going to know to get milk... know what I'm saying?

If there was an app that I could run when I got to a place I went often (store, bank, home, work...) name the location and set a distance (like 1 mile or 5 miles) then when I made a reminder I could attach it to the location. When I got within the distance the alarm would sound.
