Seriously, we all have ideas, but since we are all developers, we know the value of the idea is always worth much more than the coding. The idea provides the value. For example, having a program which generates random numbers between 1 and 100 is probably not valuable to anyone (oops - I am assuming again <g>), but it could be an enterprise application if an enterprise needed mobile personal to possess these random numbers for the success of the enterprise. (if you find such a company, let me know who they are, I need to be sure my mutual funds are not with them <g>) If this is a school project, then I don't think you will have to worry about market acceptance of your product, so any idea will probably do. If you are intending on taking this product to market, then you should probably be asking business administration and management types that work in enterprises what they need. I assume that most of those who frequent this forum do not fall into that category. Whether you are in school or not, I suggest you visit your local college and approach the Business Administration department. They generally have liaisons for local businesses to provide this type of help or input - and it's usually free.
