automatic music, no stop or volume button immediatly in line of sight, closed. I am sorry from that glance i gave it looked good but the music totally killed it for me.

Valid points. FWIW, you can click anywhere on the iPhone to pause the video (and music, for that matter). We should probably make this clearer.

I'd suggest never automatically playing music. I always imagine the user just watched a youtube video with really low volume.

How did you make that awesome demo? Is that just js + 100 hours of labor or what?

It's just few images sliding. The iphone is a video.

I'm so used to right clicking and looking for Flash as the only indicator of video.

/forgets video tag.

Could you enable this for all appstores? I sent a link to a family member in canada and he couldn't download it.

Generalizing this into a flight tracker while your travelling app would be pretty awesome too. You can swipe between flights like kayak's flight tracker.

Who did you use for the graphic design? Did you contract it out or are you working together?

Cool, now if it could do a lattitude like thing and let you know where on the sidewalk they were, that would be epic.

Yeah totally, we were thinking of setting up a geo fence around the airport and automatically sending a text with their location or notifying the person being picked up that their ride has arrived.

This would be awesome. Does iOS let you do trigger this event if the app is in the background?
