The app is cute and does showcase a nice “eyecandy” element f the hardware.

I feel there is definetly a place for whimsy and sheer nonsense on any device…after all we all need a break now and again.

However if you go through the App store there is a heavy focus on apps desogned to impress your mates and/or date with “Dig my iPhone….”. The enomous popularity of things like on screen cigarette lighters, pouring beers and virtual farts make the iPhone seem like the Beavis and Butthead of devices (the Apple fanboys who insist that the iPhone is about to become the business smartphone of choice always amuse me). Showcasing tech is great, but eventually you need to DO something with it.

I love my iPod Touch but I really wish there was less “lowest common denominator” consumer tat and more business/productivy software for the iPhone platform. It’s out there, but is often hard to hear over the silly vocoders and virtual farts.

I don’t get it either…other than being something new and different that I would get bored with in about 30 seconds, I don’t seen the point.

What’s the purpose of sports cars or stand-up comedy?

No purpose, but they are fun and interesting. This app is really cool, and showcases what you can do with a capacitive touchscreen device.

Pretty cool app. You can steam your screen but not cut and paste.
