Who’s ready for the iPhone SDK? Me. In preparation, I’ve been working on a project I’m code-naming Engineer. That might change, but the app is a search application. At the moment, it searches SMS, Notes, and Contacts and it is pretty easy to add support for just about anything. I plan to add iTunes, Mail, Photos (if the computer’s metadata transfers over), and Events. For 1.0, expect a subset of those and for 1.5, expect all. I’m also designing it with plugins in mind, so anyone can write a plugin for their special data format.
I’m aware that this probably will get replace by Apple at some point. Duh, people need to search for stuff on their phone. But until then, I’ll get some iPhone practice.

Spotlight for your iPhone? Nice.
“Flashlight” comes to mind as an alternative name.
