I have been watching the third party applications eagerly for anyone to create a Nike+ app for my iPhone. It has been the one thing that I have wanted on my iPhone since before it was available. There is hope that Apple might support Nike+, so I had given up the idea of unlocking my iPhone. I don’t actually CARE about ringtones and NES emulators.

Jason Kottke’s idea, however, is the one feature I would unlock my iPhone for:

• A feature I would like on my iPhone… (kottke.org)

A feature I would like on my iPhone: every single call gets recorded (at a low bitrate to conserve storage space) and stored on the phone for a short period of time. Playback works like the visual voicemail feature.

Any time I have ever had to record a phone call, I have realized it AFTER the call is over or during the call, when I can’t really grab a tape recorder easily. This feature would be great for resolving arguments, protecting ourselves and recording the voice of shy loved ones. God, if I had had this feature, I could have had a recording of my grandpa before he died. Why didn’t I think of that?

Yes, please, third party app creators: create this for me!
