mortgage repayment calculation app

Submitted by jinga_mohawk on March 23, 2008 - 6:48pm

I have already written an app for this as I am a property developer with 50 properties. I also was a consultant C++ developer for 12 years so I wrote the app in an afternoon. I have 3 version of the app in Java, C++ & C#. I know nothing of the procedure for your development but I think a mortgage repayment app is useful. Whoever is reading this probably wants to buy a house at some point and would use the app. Try looking for this app on the internet and there are lots of free versions but these versions are polluted with add on expenses and custom bank charges.

Bootable Dos

A Bootable DOS app for a USB would be really nice. CD, NTFS, Floppy emulation, and possibly USB support would be awesome. I have had CD'd with a Bootable DOS that are used for installing 9x systems on a PC without a floppy drive, but these are kind of shaky and a USB would be much nicer.

Phantom CD

Phantom CD enables you to mount a CD or DVD image and access it from a virtual drive, without the need to insert the physical media. If you have plenty of hard drive space to store your disk images, this method can be more convenient and offer faster performance than running the actual CD or DVD. Phantom CD supports ISO and BIN/CUE image formats that can be created with any disk imaging software. You can load disk images from the main interface or, more conveniently, by simply right-clicking on the virtual drive icon that is added to Windows Explorer.

Log This is a freeware app to protect you from keyloggers. Not sure if it's Open Source but if it can be made portable then it would be useful to people who use FFP and other such apps. I am unable to copy the link due to the lack of the copy function on my iPod Touch that I'm posting this with. Go to http://www.bestfreewaredownloads.com and search for Log This! to get more info and a download link.

TrueCrypt 5.1

What about file - and system security in a world of spys, intruders and in the inevitable case of the total loss of the very important USB gizmo?

I think a portable version of Truecrypt makes the world and life in general a little bit safer! or Sure!

For sure!

I'm not sure if this is illegal or if it violates any laws or anything but I think you should make a version of the PA website that is optimized for viewing on a portable device, such as an iPod Touch. Also, develop versions of apps that can be installed onto an iPod Touch that is "jailbroke"

File Converter

Submitted by Tynen on March 21, 2008 - 3:38am

It would be nice to have a portable file converter. I don't know how many times I've needed to convert a FLV to something else. Yes I know there are online sites that'll do it. But when you need it immediately and portably. Or if the file is over 100mb the site's won't even do it. It'd be nice to have a portable app to do this! THANKS!!!
