OS X apps you'd like to see on the iPhone

The most obvious and immediate OS X application I'd like to see on the IPhone is OmniOutliner. After all, the point of it is to make lists, like shopping lists, etc.



The things that would make for a good application for iPhone are that you mostly want to read data rather than input it, and it will nicely fit on a screen without having to scroll in more than one direction. Also, the file size should be reasonably small. What other applications would you like to see on the iPhone?

    There are some really good game opportunities on this thing, with the large screen and touch interface.

    Old console emulators. Although the touchscreen interface might not be optimal.

    I kinda meant applications you could use on the go, that would fit into the lifestyle of having information with you. Do people really want to be doing things like creating movies in Final Cut Pro on a 3 inch screen?

    I'd like a keynote player and the ability to plug the dock connector into a projector.

    Adobe Acrobat Professional is probably the most needed application for the site.

    Now that could be the tipping point to really push adoption beyond the usual Apple fanboys and into the mainstream.



    And of course the connector should have an IR receiver and Apple remote.

    High fives!



    I do have to wonder if it could handle it though. Would it need a graphics card to really be able to push Keynote presentations out to a projector? The graphics on the little screen of the phone itself look terrific, but what about a 1280 X 800 (or larger) projector screen?

    Terminal anyone?



    Although yes, OmniOutliner is a winner too.

    The number one app has to be a ConvinceMyWifeToBuy.app, but it isn't available on OS X since I haven't been able to purchase a Mac since after I was married. Kidding.



    I'm in the middle of the iPhone demographic: a person who's on the go a bit, doesn't want to do work and would rather enjoy myself while traveling. So, a very capable web browser and music/video player is just down my alley. Mini-Safari and mini-iTunes is all I need. Oh, and games. Age of Empires and other RTS games. I assume small games like those on the iPod will be fairly easily to bring over.

    Well, I hope they make it possible to create widgets at least. For exampl, a Delicious Library-widget would be sweet, so that I can check what records I have when I go to buy "new" ones at a second-hand shop. Lots of that kind of widgets that sync with the major app would be great. More examples could be recipe programs that syncs grocery lists when you are going shopping etc. (Well, that could be done without an extra widget since they could sync with the notes application, but anyway...)
