Open Garden
Open Garden has developed a way that people with smartphones will be able to share bandwidth on wifi data connections of other cell phones with the Open Garden app, very similar concept to bit torrent file sharing utilizing a network of computers. This will create a mesh network from the power of individual cell phones that will increase bandwidth and lower transmission power requirements.
YouTube’s New Remote
If you want an app to control YouTube from any browser and on your phone check out Clik by Clik Interactive Inc.
It allows multiple people with iphones to control videos over same pc and browser no software or hardware needs to be installed. Simply go to clickthis.com and connect to the browser you want to control by scanning the QR code on the website.
I could see this being a great collaborative tool using iPhones or smart phones on websites and people in the audience could engage in or participate interactively beyond YouTube videos.
AccuFuel app
The AccuFuel app can help you track your vehicles fuel efficiency and how your driving habits affect your fuel mileage. Also can have a complete history of fuel usage for your vehicle. Trying different routes to work and how traffic will affect your fuel mileage and useage would be interesting as well.
Using smart phone to save fuel costs
With the price of gas nearing 4.00 and already at 5.00 in some parts of the country it might be worth looking into the iGasup app for 99 cents. It might pay for itself the first time you fill up and not worry that a few blocks away gas was
cheaper somewhere else, if you save 5 cents a gallon thats a dollar saved on 20 gallons.
