Master iPhone Screen Fix - Pre Broken

001/365

I don't know if you can really call this an invention or if its just a common sense suggestion for Apple, but it could definitely be a high demand aftermarket accessory for the iPhone 4 (or any other phone really). I got this idea when my good friend Duck shattered his iPhone screen.

The product is simple.

A tempered glass replacement screen for the iPhone 4. It would look like this (but with cleaner edges):
Get rid of the aluminosilicate glass and put some damn tempered glass in there and you could use your iPhone 4 as a hockey puck.

Production would be stupid easy. Find a company that specialized in tempered glass. Give them the specs. Shoot them out of the machine quicker than pancakes.

And just a hunch, but I think we could do it pretty darn cheap.

iPhone Suction Cup for FaceTime

050/365

For faceTime-ing in the kitchen, bathroom, vehicle, ect. Stick one side of the double-sided suction cup to the glass backing of the device and the other to any similar surface. This gadget may or may not have a small arm to twist and turn the device.

Apple MagSafe to 30 pin Adapter

This could be used to dually charge any MacBook, iPod (less the shuffle), iPhone or iPad from the same brick charger. The user simply snaps the female-MagSafe-to-male-30-pin adapter to the existing male MageSafe connector extending from the brick charger to charge any Apple device.

Note: I'm not sure if this will work because of the power consumption needed for a MacBook as opposed to the other devices.

iPhone SMS Cancel Button

Sometimes when I'm sending an SMS I wish I could cancel the message. Apple displays the sending status bar but does not offer a way to interrupt it. It probably complicates the backend servers if users start rejecting partially sent messages.

Web Apps, Where's the Beef?

023/365

I have recently converted to using solely web apps on both my MacBook Pro and my iPhone but I have two gripes:

1. The Mac OS does not allow placement of web apps on the dock.

• How hard would it be to add this feature to the OS? I mean Apple already uses this technology in the iPhone. Seems a bit fishy. Is this another attempt by Apple to stifle innovation for control? Maybe when the allure of the iPad wears off they'll add this feature to their other products.

2. Notifications are not integrated on the iPhone OS.

• For example, I no longer use iOS Mail instead I use the Gmail web app but the Gmail web app does not alert me when I have a new email. Without that feature it makes that web app kind of pointless. Example two, same thing goes for google voicemail web app. The only way I know that I receive a VM is when I get an email with the VM in it. Now, I don't need the web app at all.

Now, I don't know a lot about development but these two things seem to be overlooked in the Web 2.0 conversion. I bet a dev could write an app that allows for web apps to be integrated into a Mac's desktop Dock and write a preifirial app that notifies you when one of your web apps is updated on an iPhone. Where is that dev?

..to be continued. Stay tuned. ;)
