      110 Apps We Would Improve with iOS 4 and iPhone 4

      1

      by P. J. Connolly

      2COMPANY: Nuance Communications
      APP: Dragon Dictation
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      2

      Currently, Dragon saves to a text file, copies to a clipboard or launches e-mail. Multitasking could allow it to paste directly into an open document in Apple’s Pages or another word processor.

      3COMPANY: Lab48
      APP: vTie Premium
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      3

      Diagrams for knotting a necktie are helpful; to go to the next level, vTie could use the iPhone 4’s video camera to walk one through the process.

      4COMPANY: Cisco Systems
      APP: Cisco WebEx Meeting Center
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      4

      The ability to show the presenter may be a double-edged sword, but it would be nice to have the option.

      5COMPANY: Obapp.com
      APP: MuniApp
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      5

      Being able to use an application while waiting for the bus is a way to put wasted time to good use; multitasking would allow transit-focused apps like MuniApp to update predictions without missing a beat.

      6COMPANY: Aji
      APP: TouchTerm Pro SSH
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      6

      Running an SSH client on your mobile device is helpful, but being able to run a process in the background and do something useful while waiting for it to complete would be priceless.

      7COMPANY: Readdle
      APP: Scanner Pro
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      7

      Scanning documents is nice, but performing OCR on a document is better.

      8COMPANY: Automattic
      APP: WordPress
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      8

      New video support functions in iOS 4 could make it possible to create on-the-fly video blog updates.

      9COMPANY: Shape Services
      APP: Business Card Reader
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      9

      The only thing worse than having a pocket full of other people’s business cards is trying to put faces to those names; tools like this are crying out for the ability to take a snapshot to go with the card.

      10COMPANY: Ilium Software
      APP: eWallet
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      10

      Password management apps could benefit from the additional level of security that facial recognition provides, to authenticate the user before revealing stored passwords.

      11COMPANY: Izatt International
      APP: MileBug
      WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED:

      11

      Mileage-logging programs could benefit from the built-in GPS functions of the iPhone 4; older models could append a screenshot of the odometer to document beginning and end points of a journey.
