Stupid iPhone tricks

By Donald Sensing

Here's a list and explanation of possibly the dumbest, most pointless iPhone apps ever conceived. Like this one:

1. iNap@Work

Developer: SilentLogic Studios
Price: $0.99

This app promises to generate random office sounds -- mouse clicks, keyboard taps, pencil sharpeners, coughs, and rustling paper -- to give power-nappers some cover. Little sliders are supposed to control your "productivity" level and the frequency of each sound.

In our tests, however, the noises were a little too random to sound convincing. Besides, which is worse: to get caught napping, or to get caught using a lame iPhone app to pretend that you aren't?
Oh, yeah, that'll work.

But this one is on my must-have list:



This is the BulletFlight app. "It can determine the effects of windage, distance, air pressure, humidity and temperature, which makes dialing in the position of the scope’s crosshairs far easier. Think different, and then take the perfect shot." Just what every plinker needs.
