iPhone Apps

With the latest iPhone rumor from a Piper Jaffray analyst being an integrated RFID reader, the potential to turn your iPhone into a digital wallet could finally be here in 2010. It’s been a long time coming since similar technology has been used in Japan and Singapore for years. Even if it replaces credit cards and cash, I still need to carry a wallet for my drivers license and various public transportation passes, so no real space saving advantage.

With the Adobe Flash plugin and RFID coming soon to the iPhone, a flood of new apps will be coming as well. This brings me to an article on WalletPop about making a million bucks with an iPhone app that makes fart sounds. Since most Wall Street firms prefer Blackberries to iPhones for business use, even though it now supports Microsoft Exchange, I’ve been hesitant to purchase one for personal use. I may just have to buy one in hopes I can one day develop the next iFart app that somehow uses RFID, so I can reap my millions too.
