quite possibly illegal; i'd be likely violating espn's copyrights (with respect to podcasts and highlights). Stats is fair game, of course, though there are legal implications to scraping another site to obtain them, and I'd probably have to pay license fees.

I'd second this! and third it as well! I'd easily pay $2.99, $3.99 or even $4.99 for an easy to use ESPN SportsCenter app with fantasy league management capabilities. Now we're talking.

...or you could build the core app and then license it to ESPN, Yahoo or whomever coughed up the cash thereby mitigating any liability, helping jump-start their mobile ventures and providing a nice revenue stream for yourself.

• Custom EQ, allowing settings from iTunes to be ported over.
• RSS reader
• Texas hold 'em
• Some sort of multi-chat support client (I'm even okay if I can't run it in the background)
• Photo-booth esque effects to use with the camera
• Twitter client
• Youtube video downloader (I'm not sure if MxTube will be ported over to 2.0)
• Themes/Summerboard (I'm not sure if Apple has clarified if this will be allowed with the SDK)

That's all I can think of for now!

@reaktor5 -

i've put one of your suggestions on my list. i think several others are in the works by others, and a couple are impossible given the current state of the sdk/restrictions.

Kind of like isitnyu post, Id like to see a native yahoo app for Fantasy football, or all fantasy sports for that matter.

Seems like a popular request. Personally I'm a baseball guy :-) I need to figure out how to do it without breaking any laws.

I don't know either

My main request would be an offline RSS reader, that obtains new feeds automatically (push or pull, do not care, as long as I do not have to initiate every attempt) when I am connected, and keeps the feed content locally, to give me something to read even when I have no coverage. I am not sure how possible this is, given the "no background process" aspect of the SDK, because I do not know if the push notification service would be enough. Still, the lack of something like viigo seems like a gaping hole in the software lineup.

I'd like an application that would allow me to VERY easily create a form for any type of situation. It should allow for multimedia (a picture) and make use of the GPS (the local significance of the subject of the form, or any of it's contents for example). It should have check boxes, drop downs, email ability, and tie in to ical.

It should be the most simple data input method since the pencil & paper.
