  1. Those are some different ideas. That cardiograph app sounds pretty cool; I might check it out when I get home from my shift at DISH tonight. Now, instead of turning your iPhone into a TV remote, why not change it into a TV? That’s what I did with my DISH Anywhere app. It streams all of my live TV channels and DVR recordings, so I can watch what I want, on the go. I’ve been using it when I go fishing, because I would rather watch a Rockies baseball game, than listen to it on the radio.

      Thanks for comment! I think that iPhone users can do everything with their iPhones today thanks to thousands of different applications))) Some of them (I mean apps, not users)) are a little bit stupid of course, but it’s funny to try them at least)) iPhone as a TV is a very good idea!

      Cheers!
