Mynameise Iphone Business Card Killer? I doubt it

I just read that the MynameisE.com developed a great tool to share Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter information with others, while on the go. Pretty interesting idea and some people already called it a “business card printer” killer.

The Iphone app allows card sharing through a simple flick of the writs.  It cann connect to users automatically and let the allows the exchange of the information.

Certainly an interesting concept to exchange information with a phone. However, question remains: How many people really will use the app on their Iphone and how many phones besides the Iphone do they support with their system.
So…for all the fast shooters…I would not call business cards bsolete until Linkedin/Facebook/Twitter….include a functionality like this in their offical app.

Electronic Field Guide

After looking at the Iphone flowers app the other day, I saw another app in the NYTimes, which falls under the same theme:

The Tree identification app, which allows to find leaves by matching them:

Still a prototype and financed by the National Science Foundation is this electronic field guide. Pretty damn cool. Cannot wait until someone comes up with a survival app, which allows everybody to go through the rainforest with a simple app :)

Pretty cool stuff!

Flower Garden Iphone App

Not really something for father’s day, but I just saw a funny Iphone App called Flower Garden.
The idea of the app is pretty funny: It’s basically a garden simulator where you
start growing flowers and depending on your seeds, it’s easy or difficult. Seems
like the old-school Tamagotchi, which made it’s rounds through the world after being a huge success in Japan.
But that’s not enough. Once you successfully grow a flower, you can share the flower with someone you love plus add a personalized card. So for the Iphone addicts this might be a fun way to send a mother’s day gift. Would be interesting to see if the mother can make the flower go bad :)

My Blackberry turned into an Iphone

Well….even that I like the Iphone a lot, my Blackberry is a holy thing. Today the Blackberry App store launched…and I really like it a lot! For $29.90/month I now have a full-blown phone.

The first Iphone Apps where pretty cool, but now the Iphone turns more and more into a game console. Who needs a tablet if the “regular” Iphone can run cool applications like this one:

Iphone Facebook App Draws 1 Million members

Crazy times over at Facebook:

1 million Iphone/Itouch Apps have been downloaded. About 1.7 million users a day visit the mobile wap site.

Quite impressive. Like Mix.jp in Japan, social networks are on the mobile web a big hit.
