iPhone Tracker is an open-source application that maps the information that your iPhone is recording about your movements. It doesn’t record anything itself, it only displays files that are already hidden on your computer.

Shot Note from Japanese stationary company King Jim is a notepad for storing hand written notes in a digital format. The iPhone app recognises the fiduciary markers on the corner of the pad and corrects the perspective, colour and scale to fit the iPhone screen perfectly.
“Handwritten text can be imported as-is from the photo, and if you write in the No. and DATE boxes, on the top right of the notes, they get read using OCR. You can use the number and date to search your data and re-arrange your notes.”

“PhoneQi for iPhone lets you clip, save and share any text you see around you, especially in newspapers and magazines, as long as the text is publicly available online. Only about 6 words are needed on average to locate the text you are looking at among all the documents ever created.”
Great idea. I’ve tried it out and it works perfectly! I had no idea this app existed until tonight and I’m very happy it does. This concept is very similar to one I wanted to explore as part of a lightning talk on papercomp that I submitted to UXLX. They didn’t accept my talk, but my friend Oli Shaw will be talking about a few subjects we’ve been discussing on and off for the last year or so. I believe he’s going to be discussing Magic as a metaphor and the pros/cons of seamlessness vs seamfulness in services. Neither are new subjects in relation to ubicomp but I’m sure he’ll put a good spin on them.
