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>

make a wysiwyg app which allows other people with zero coding skills to make their own apps. I would by that.

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

another app that would utilize the camera would be a real clinometer app. I don't mean those glorified bubble level apps, but a real sighting clinometer that would use the gsensor to provide a readout of the angle ect..

I have been wanting that app for a long time, and even had a few aspiring programmers attempt, but alas they got lost looking for api/frameworks.

kinda like this only using the camera as a veiwfinder (picture records center line and deg of angle [compass heading if ppc has the hardware])
a true sighting clinometer is used by outdoorsmen, climbers, and good satellite techs.

also the cleavenland show this week had an 'aldanator' (alan alda voice box) that would be sweet!!!!

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.
