Want a rotary iPhone dialer? You'll get one.
When Apple opened up its iPhone to third-party developers, all kinds of useful and offbeat application ideas were bandied about.
One that came up again and again: A working software facsimile of a rotary-phone dialer.
Well, Minnesota-based CodeMorphic has developed exactly that.
It's called RetroPhone, and company founders Bill Heyman and Damon Allison showed it to me today ahead of the app's public unveiling at MinneBar tomorrow (I have a story about CodeMorphic and MinneBar in the Pioneer Press).
They're also announcing Aloha, a photo-annotating program inspired in part by Comic Life. Both apps will be among the flood of iPhone programs hitting Apple's App Store in a few weeks.
Behold, RetroPhone (a downloable version of the video, suitable for computer or iPod viewing, is here):
Nothing new there. Visuamobile has released such an applications months ago : http://blog.visuaweb.com/index.php/post/2008/03/02/iDial-10-%3A-lalternative-vintage-au-dialer-de-liphone
