This site allows users to make a "mock" of an iPhone like app with their own buttons and information. The site is free and easy to use, but I got the feeling like it was in the beginning stages. Many of the buttons that you can pick from were hard to actually get to do what you wanted them to do. For instance, there is a map button that you can put into your project. I could not get the map to start at the location I wanted it to be in. Also, some of the Internet search buttons and the drop-down menus were hard to use. The other downside is I was hoping that once the "app" was created you could download it and put it directly on and iPod Touch or iPhone. This was unfortunately not possible. The site creates a link with your app in a website that appears on a mobile on your device. I think that this site would be perfect for students to create short mini-projects on certain topics. They could add text, pictures, and buttons to scroll through a project. The added incentive for the students is that their final product would look like an iPhone app and be accessible on the Internet.
Below is a link of the quick project I created about myself on this site. Click the test button in the upper right-hand corner to see the whole project. For the added effect, scan the QR code on your Smart phone.
