Re: It's just two buttons

[George Sinos]

It sounds like it would be one of those fun apps that may appeal to a
few people.

I reality, for me, I don't need or want special vibration codes for
everyone in my address book.  I have a code set for the family members
that may need me in an emergency.  That way when I'm teaching, or
other times when I have the audio ringer turned off, I can tell by the
pattern of the vibration whether I can ignore the incoming message, or
if I should actually take the phone out of my pocket and look at the
screen.

I'm in the generation that grew up before cell phones and pagers and
don't feel the need to instantly respond to every ring or buzz of the
phone.  I remember when nobody called you unless it was important.
How times have changed.  Not necessarily better or worse, but very
different.

I don't believe iOS provides apps with the ability to change contacts'
ringtones, so the economics are moot.

Needs to be viable enough that someone else would want to do the work, 
since Larry thinks it's too tedious for him to do himself.

How viable does it need to be? So Larry puts in an hour of his time
(priceless, but lets say $100 for simplicity). Buy a web address
(dadadotsme.com) and put up a brief description: another one hour =
$100. Submit to Apple's ap store. Wait for the money to pour in. Of
the millions and millions of iOS users, surely there are a few
hundred hamsters who would be intrigued by such an ap . . .

All the way at the bottom is Vibration Patterns.  Select
"vibration"

On that screen you can define all the custom vibration
patterns you want, then you can assign them phone numbers.

It would be rather tedious to make a morse code ringtone for each
of the people in my phone book,  it would actually be easier to
write an app that just translated the name to morse code.  Set up
a buffer, and a table look up, and for each letter in the name
beep the morse code out the speaker.

Someone who knows the app space could probably write it in an
hour.



The only question is are there enough weird people out there who
would buy it to make it commercially viable.

You can do that on your iPhone Larry.

Go to Settings>Sounds

Don't need two buttons, just one.  I'd be happy to have a ringer that keys out 
the morse code of the person's name when they call.
