I don't know, thats a good question. I have a black berry storm(dont get one) and i think perhaps some sorta collectors performance app would be nice for people. Like a app you can log into and see collection floor statistics. (calls in, calls out, whos doing what, ect) that way the fancy manager on the go can harass his people from abroad!

Boss: "John, you were under quota today"
John: "How did you know that your in the Galapagos for vacation!?"
Boss: "MWhahahahahahahhahahaahahahaha"

(that is so my sales pitch)

Collection Job board: Turnover is high in the industry. Careerbuilder.com has one. http://www.callcenterjobs.com/CollectionsJobs.cfm should probably jump on that.

I have many agency clients with iPhones and they are looking for quality people everyday.

I would like to see this site and other collection based sites be more iPhone friendly.

Terminator 3 App.

If you use your phone while driving or in some other rude obsequious fashion a liquid metal finger emerges from the phone, through your head causing death! Note however , the death will be slow and excruciating as a lesson to others.

Really, aren't we over-using this "tool" enough already!

Hi, Scott:

Build An App is suppose to be pretty easy to use.

Check out Matt Legend Gemmell's iPhone development emergency guide, geared at "competent developers who haven't written code for the iPhone before." Check it out here.

It's an interesting guide concept. As is his tag line -- "Modesty is lying."

I've got one I'd like to see built. Naturally, since I operate from a collection attorney service side, I'd like to see something for field "investigators." I'd have an iPhone app. built where a process server would log in to their software remotely and file their affidavits on-line from their iPhones. I'd like for the iPhone app to securely transfer it's internal GPS coordinates to the office software on-line.

The process server would be required to quickly complete the affidavit in front of the house or location where they claim to have served the paper. His or her GPS coordinates would upload to the agency software to securely verify that no fraud had taken place as far as their actual location was concerned. Coordinates would verify that investigators were actually at the defendant's location at said date & time of service.

This app might assist in protecting against a few unethical process serving agents. Those few don't realize or care how devastating their actions might potentially be to the entire collection industry by falsification of their affidavits. We'd see substantially less fraud stories like those coming out of Long Island.
