Its past midnight and I should be in bed but am stalking the App Store for new apps and suddenly I run into this semi-gorgeous (in my opinion the user-interface can be a little nicer) little app thats uses your Phone GPS to display promotions and vouchers for restaurants, bars, Cafes near you. Yay! Great idea! The app is called The Special Board and its free. You can of course browse offers by category and bookmark them and view venues right on the map in relation to your current co-ordinates. How clever is that?

The Special Board app is currently available for iPhone users but will soon be available on inferior technologies like Android, Blackberry and other smart phones.

Even though our trusted TiVo records all things we like to watch — it is still nice to have an option to be able to see whats currently being aired or about to come on… and wouldn’t it just be nice if you could set a little reminder when it came on so your iPhone would buzz letting you know its time to kick up your heels and drown yourself in all that idiot box glory.

Voila! Sounds good so far? Wait there is more… you can SMS or email the show details at the touch of a button and look up the cast and history of the show and its relevant details on the web all in that one same window without flicking through anything else!

Its a great little app if you like putting emoticons(emotional icons) when using SMS, MMS or Emails when using your iPhone. In some ways its a must have App on your iPhone and I agree — iEmoji is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch & requires iPhone OS 2.2 or later. Thats all you really need.

Have a read of what Apptism has to say.
