iPhone meme

You knew it already, your iPhone is amazing: a phone, a video iPod, a web browser. You’ve read the news on the bus, replied to email in line for a movie, taken pictures, made phone calls, and recently, even sent text messages to many friends at once.

But wait, there’s more! Now, thanks to Pettitte Mallette’s iPhone ruler, our Safari web app of the week, you can measure things with it too! (as long as the things you want to measure are somewhat small).

I haven’t actually used the ruler yet, but I like the idea enough that I’m keeping it on my home screen. Well, for now, on page 2 of my home screen.

If you haven’t guessed already, the iPhone ruler does only one thing - it puts a 2 1/2 inch (or 6 1/2 centimeter) ruler on your screen. The developers promise this is just the beginning:

In spring 2008 we will replace this ruler with a new one that will transform your iPhone or iPod Touch into an amazing device.

Can’t wait!
