iPhoneHome is a (tentatively named) website to aggregate all those little pieces of data from different "standard" (or extended) applications into a central, easily accessible location. All without application fees or the need to download any application to your phone. You simply register an account and begin adding any of the configurable modules to your phone's new website. In short, you will get a homepage that looks something like the one to the right
You can add any module at any level and choose to have a module only show during particular times. For example, display info relating to the bus going in in the morning and the reverse bus in the evening. Or display the weather in the morning, stocks in the afternoon, and then your favorite RSS feeds in the evening. The times to display each are entirely configurable.
iPhoneHome will always be free. None of your personal information is collected/given out except for the purposes of resetting your password at a later time or sending system-wide notifications for additional features, planned outages or so forth. Even so, it will be opt-in only (I don't have this system set up yet). You will never receive spam from this site or any partner as a result of this site.
Even though the site is free, you get a lot of applications that are often paid-for applications within the standard store. For example, real-time BART and MUNI arrivals are available for free within, along with RSS feeds info, traffic info, etc.
