While kicking around app ideas here at the office, I had an idea for what I think could be the worst iPhone app ever. It’d be dead simple to build, and I’d call it “iPhone Discus”. Basically it would use the phone’s built in GPS to see how far you could throw your iPhone. Enter a location, throw, record location. That’s it.

Trying to coordinate a few days in South Florida right before Christmas. Lot of timing needs to work just right on this one.
$2.17/gallon. $28 to fill up, awesome.
Just got a call from Julie. Dead mouse in the apt. Good work cat, way to earn your keep.

A real simple app would be a free-fall timer, with online highscore!
Just check for how long the accelerometer reads close to zero, people will start throwing their iPhones really high

Better app would be iBaseball, which uses the GPS and accelerometer to determine not just how far you can hit your iPhone, but also how hard you swung the bat (completely inaccurate figures are perfectly accessible). It takes a picture during its flight and uploads it to Flickr, uploads a link to the flickr photo to Twitter, and posts the whole mess to Facebook. Then, it asks you for your checking account and routing number for no apparent reason.
Bingo: The perfect iPhone app!
