Most Wanted
The following have been requested and are in high demand as the "Most Wanted" channels by litl OS and device users:
- Kaleidoscope - A fun app that uses the Wheel to change shapes and colors like the exciting kid's toy. Fishing - As fish swim by, use the GoButton to cast your fishing line, and pull the Wheel to catch and reel in a fish.
- Yelp - Enter in your location and food preference and see a Slideshow of well-reviewed and popular restaurants in your area to visit for lunch or dinner.
- eBay - Enter search criteria and watch a Slideshow of items for auction that may be just what you're looking for.
- Sign Maker - Enter text in laptop mode, select a style, then flip it into easel mode to display your message. Use a variety of styles and fonts to create a post-it note reminder to pick up milk, or a menu de cuisine for an ambitious culinary outing.
- Rimshot on Demand - Crack a joke, then use the litl remote control to cue an instant "ba-dum-ching" sound effect. For both real and ironic use.
- Metronome - Keep the beat with a simple metronome. Adjust settings in laptop mode, then flip to easel mode to use. The "go" button would stop and start the beat.
- Instrument Tuner - Annoy your friends and family less - play in tune! Use the tuner to produce tones for each string or valve or whatnot. With microphone APIs, the next step would be to gauge whether your instrument is sharp or flat.
- Fantasy Sports Ticker - Keep track of your fantasy sports team's performance with a ticker of news on only your fantasy players.
- Birthday Cake - Select the number of candles in laptop mode, then flip to easel mode for a birthday surprise. With microphone APIs, you can also blow into the mic to blow out the candles.
- Movie Times - Check movie schedules with the spin of a wheel. The channel could display show times for theaters near your house in easel mode based on your zip code.
- How I Spent My Summer Vacation - Want to wow your friends with vacation photos, but need the ability to pause to explain the background story? Build this channel to control when your Mediawall slideshow photos advance with the "go" button on the remote control.
- Shuffleboard - Choose your angle with the wheel and "go" button, then hold the remote wheel-side down against a flat surface to replicate a shuffleboard stick. Shuffle the remote with the right force to get the puck into prime real estate on the board.
- Shaving - This can be as simple or as complicated as you want, but the premise is that you use the litl remote as a mock razor against your face to simulate shaving. Taking the complicated route, you could start with a photo on the webcam of your face, on which you can superimpose facial hair. Then, apply a dab of shaving cream using the "go" button, take out your razor, and show that beard who's boss.
