I was intrigued by the task in The Apprentice this evening. For those you didn't see it, the task was to design an "app" for the mobile phone industry.

So for a bit of fun, hopefully, what "app" would you think could achieve global dominance.

I'd like an app that I could instruct to vacuum, dust and have the dinner, not only prepared, but cooked for me coming home from work!
Think it would catch on????????
:D

How about a "stupid and pointless business speak sayings to be used at the start of a new series of the apprentice to make everyone think you are a nob" generator?

I'd create an app of ridiculous anecdotes for ridiculous idiots to quote on grossly exaggerated CVs !

But as you posted 30 seconds before me it's your idea and as I can see it would catch on you would be minted!

You would get them all off The Apprentice application forms then. Some of the things they put are embarrasing.

As for developping an app how about an EPK detector. It could vibrate in your pocket if you are within 20 yds of one or as you walk into thier bar giving you the option to turn on your heels. 8)
