Here's one for the Zen fans in the crowd. The Pool is an app created by a group of three developers who met on Friday night at the camp kick-off. (Update: here's a newer link). They wanted to create something that involves touching the screen, so they drew a top-down view of the rippling surface of a lake. Touch the screen to make new ripples on the lake. Multiple iPhone users can all touch the lake at once, and the app keeps track of who's touching where. When two users touch the same spot in the lake at the same time, the players catch a fish. And yes, a fish really appears. Kind of cool, if kind of totally useless.
I've been touching for two minutes and I/we haven't caught any fish yet. Better than a day at the office...
