Rate my ideas for a Mobile App

[DireWolf]

Hello everyone,

I want to try and develop a mobile application for google's new mobile software android. So far i have come up with a couple idea's however i'm not sure if they are worth pursuing. Thus, i turn to OOT. Also if you have any other ideas let me know.

1) Ebay mobile app - select a product/price your willing to pay. With x amount of time left, user gets shown a preview of the item and is asked if they want to bid. If yes, snipe the bid, if no, wait until next auction and repeat. This continues until user shuts application or wins.

2) Overlay maps of subways on google maps, get current location of user from phone, ask user where he wants to go, and show the closest stop and line changes needed.

I think both of these have some potential but will take a large time commitment to do well. How do you guys feel about the ideas?

This thread can also serve as a general "if my phone could do XYZ, it would be cool"

Thanks alot
