I'm planning on creating a new iPhone app. Any ideas?

I wanted to create a simple app but still haven’t found what category I’d like to explore.
Do you have any suggestions on what type of app I could create? Something useful and productive for instance.
I know there are already a million apps out there, so I wanted to create a new one (different from all the others) or create a new one that hasn’t been done yet.
Feel free to suggest anything!
Every idea is welcome!

Hmm… New and useful… New and useful…..
Perhaps an app that would push to grab Google Reader feeds or any other feeds you have setup and them aggregate them into one place and then have a pushed notification to tell you when and what feed you received.. I know I would use it.
Oh PLEASE create one that pauses the video camera function on the G3S. Also a mute function that gave the option of recording without sound would be great.
@Dog Expect that to be a jailbroken app (although I haven’t seen one in cydia like that..) As Apple seems not to like apps that “interfere” with their creations and resources.
some sort of handy time tracker app? for working on stuff on the fly?
another suggestion.. be good at Objective-C.
a really quick rss app (a good one)
Don’t forget the push notifications! Maybe an RSS feed reader but with push notifications! That would be really handy and I don’t think anyone has done it.
Also please please remember the User Interface. This can make a huge difference in the user experience and thats also what lures most users to try using your app. I mean look at Tipulator!
Could there be an app that would send a text at a pre-determined time or an email?
@Dog Why can’t you use the pre installed Clock app to do that?
Even though it doesn’t send texts or e-mails it will still notify you and isn’t that the point anyways?
The clock app does not act like a secretary.
I would want a secretary app- one that emails me my daily itinerary every morning (one email of everything nice and easy to read) and also will send me important texts to remind me about meetings ahead of time.
ya that’s a cool idea, the secretary bot thing.
oh and for rss if you do push don’t make it notify for every new post(would become cluttered) maybe every 5 or better yet an option.
If anyone makes the secretary app can I be a tester?
How about an app for this site? Like, you can add and answer questions just like on the computer.
@tandra88 That already exists, and it’s quite good :)
@bvdshec17: Aw nuts. I tried. Um, an app for…choosing an outfit!
