What I’d Like To See Developed From The iPhone SDK

Ever since Apple laid their plans out for an SDK I’ve been racking my brain about what the development could create and to stir it up, I’m going to toss in what I think might a good App.

Remote Lojack

I know this App is already available for those who’ve already Jailbroken their iPhones but it’s fairly limited only reporting a
vague location. It’s not the best thing to rely on when your iPhone is stolen but then again it’s the only thing. The major limitation is the lack of a GPS module that would be able to pinpoint your iPhone’s
exact location but then again, why not have some fun with a petty thief.
If you remember when the iPhone was being heavily promoted a year ago, one of the biggest advertised features was the always on data connection which means a backdoor that the owner could use to log what’s going on under the radar. Heck, you could even insert random syblminal messages or try to convince a thief he’s the chosen one and have him meet you at a bus stop only to be karate chopped. I’ve
already said too much.

  1. Small problem with wishing this with the SDK though...Apple will not allow applications to run in the background.  Thus unless the thief starts the program for you, it won’t run.
