— unpredictable thoughts

a find for the iPhone 3

I crawl around the iphone store now and again to add more fod­der to my need for an iPhone. Here is a really cool app that solves one of the prob­lems that dri­ves me crazy from time to time. I use my lap­top for almost every­thing — that means no num­ber keys. I hate the extended key­boards because they just take up too much space on my desk.

{ Do you remem­ber when you could buy a num­ber­pad to attach to your key­board when you needed it? I had one of those clunky beige things that worked by plug­ging it into my key­board… I used it for key­ing in coor­di­nates for objects in my vec­tor files or lay­out appli­ca­tions. Most of all I used it when cre­at­ing sched­ules and I had to put in date fields. }

Well, here’s a sweet lit­tle iPhone app that lets you turn your iPhone into a num­ber keypad.

One caveat it’s Mac only.

Ah, the beauty of the iPhone platform.

Oh, it’s only $1.99
