Participant[quote=flu][quote=nostradamus][quote=flu][quote=briansd1]There is an iPhone application that gives your the nutrition value all the dishes at all major restaurants.
You can compare that way.
BTW, if you use an iPhone, jailbreak it so you can get apps for free. Don’t pay the fees.

hmmm, that’s not very nice.[/quote]
No it’s not, especially if your an iPhone app developer.
Speaking of which, I have a million-dollar idea for an iPhone app. How should I proceed?[/quote]
Thread hijack, from junk food, to technology.
Step 1) Buy the cheapest mac you can (like me). Because you can’t develop on the iphone without a mac. You can get a Mac Mini for $450 and change now (I paid $590 last month :()
Step 2) Signup for the iphone developer program
Step 3) Pour through countless examples of Objective C, and don’t forget how to do memory management,especially if you come from a Java or .Net background. You embedded bit flippers shouldn’t have a problem with this…But some of us folks on the app side using java/.net(or pick your favorite script kiddie language) have gotten so use to just doing “new”‘s without “delete’s” 🙂
Step 4) Follow directions to getting your app certified and sold.
Step 5) Port your application onto a crackberry and gphone too.
Alternatively, give me your idea and I’ll see if I can put folks to build it for you. We’ll split the profits 50/50….Just kidding.
Edit (forgot about step 0)….Search on apple store to make sure an app doesn’t already exist that does exactly what you are planning to do.
Besides tinkering, I’ve given up trying to hit it big with one killer iphone app. (1) I’m trying to doing things on multiple platforms without the overhead porting each platform. (2) You have limitations into what you can/can’t do on a iphone wrto the GPS. Apple won’t let you build a intelligence self-routing GPS on the iphone, for instance.
Personally, I’m tinkering with NFC devices right now just because….Trying to find a niche market for something.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_Field_CommunicationThis was something I bought at JavaOne awhile back…
http://www.sentilla.com/developer.htmlWhy am i doing this? Simple. I have a prediction. Enterprise computing has saturated and will be stale to dead over the next 5 years. Pretty much what was needed to be done on the backend can/will be done by most of what you have today…And the biggest driver will be cost (doing things cheaper faster). I doubt we’ll be seeing any killer apps from the enterprise side over the next 5 years.
The trend will be to be putting more and more capabilities into lighter weight client systems/devices, especially as the computing power of these devices drastically improve. That’s where the next 5 years of innovation is going to come from (aside from the IT work that Obama’s national health care system will incur)… Which brings me back to one thing I said before.
It’s doable for an Software Engineer to be an I.T. engineer. However, it’s going to be a challenge for some I.T. folks to try to do the mobile/device/connected app development.
End hijack.
Nostra, are you going to build an iphone app that allows you to order directly into McDonald’s? Just kidding.[/quote]
Geeze FLU now I have to write a how to get Rich book.

ParticipantThanks Flu! I have a mac but it’s a Power-PC (few years old G5) and I don’t think the dev tools run on anything but the intel uP. So I’ll still need to get something.
I did search at the itunes store, it seems nobody has developed this app yet. I really think it’s a good one.
