When Apple launched the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch in 2008, users were suddenly given access to a seemingly endless stream of software, games and, of course, tip calculators & fart machines. But even with all of these great applications to choose from, there still feels like somethings missing. Part science fiction and part wishful thinking, I present to you....

5 iPhone Apps We Wish Were Real

1. Movie Man

Kind of like BoxOffice or Movies which offer movie listings in your area but with a twist. Movie Man makes that dreaded Saturday night chick-flick you're forced to sit through a thing of the past. Simply say the name of the movie your girlfriend wants to see and let Movie Man do the rest. She'll think you're checking movie listings and Movie Man will come up with nothing.
“Sorry honey it says it's not playing anymore,” you'll say, “Well, I guess we can go see my pick this week. Beer League 2: Drunk & Drunker! YEAH!!”

See this app in action on G4TV's "Attack of the Show"

2. Pizza Delivery

I can order pizza through my TiVO, internet browser, and just about anything else- so why can't I order it through an iPhone application? Think about it, my credit card can already be synced up to an online account with the pizza place just like iTunes, my iPhone has built-in GPS so the delivery boy will know where I placed my order, and the iPhone's touchscreen is a no-brainer for menus that let me pick toppings. Whichever of the big pizza chains gets to my iPhone first- wins.

3. Breathalyzer

Now I'm aware this may not fall under the realm of “possible” but damn would it be fun to play with at parties (and, you know, save a few lives in the process). Definitely cheaper than other options that want to sell you extra hardware, imagine using the iPhone's own mic to blow into while getting your results on the touchscreen. Green means you're free to keep on drinking. Get a red and you're flagged. It could even come with an option to lock your phone so if the application detects that you've had too much, you can't make a call so shameful drunk dialing is a thing of the past.

4. X-Ray Vision

Not the most useful application and, perhaps, not the most plausible but, hey, it would go nicely with the secret decoder ring I got from the Cracker Jack box and that Bikini Inspector license I got from that store in the mall. Sure none of them are real but a boy can dream, can't he? Use the iPhone's camera to take a photo of your subject and use its touchscreen to see even further.

5. Simon Says Sensitive Shit

Simon is the ultimate wing-man. Whenever your girlfriend wants to have one of those “big talks” this app will make sure you're never at a loss for words. Just tap and let Simon come up with all those sensitive sweet-nothings you could never come up with on your own. The database of romantic sentiments gets updated weekly including packs of quotes from sappy movies like The Notebook and A Walk in the Clouds.
