but yeah, lets post some toy isle pics too....

I believe the Apple App store has a set of requirements (many of which involve paying). Also, they aren't cross compatible with RIM (Java) or Android (Mostly Java). iPhone apps are mostly Objective C. Also, we would need to rig up a webserver to host the database that'll house all our wishlists so that we have something remote to save to and access for wants. Since not all of us have an iPhone (I use an Android phone myself), we'd really need at least 3 versions of this app. Alternatively, we could create a web page where we can put our wishlists and view those of others but then, that wouldn't be very much different than posting on this thread except that it would be exclusively for posting wishlists. I can't see enough people using such a site that would make it worthwhile for someone to put that together, unfortunately. Not a dumb idea by any means, but can see it being highly under-utilized.
