    Yeah right, so my date can say, "Oh my God! Jason Chen is calling you?! Can I talk to him! Oh! Oh! Tell him I've got something 'pantsworthy' for him!"


    Boy is she going to be pissed then.

    I think a great app would be (though it would eat up an airtime minute per call) one that would call a list of #'s in succession. So just load up the contacts that are in your meeting and drive everyone nuts!

    For clarification, the name of the app is "Fake Calls"; the name of the developer is "Magic Tap". There are other apps that can send a fake call or a fake SMS message! Then there's "Wingman" (link: [appshopper.com] ), that will send you a fake call if the date isn't going well or it will send you interesting news stories to talk about if you are running out of conversation.

    While this is a neat application, I want a version where I can set it to fake-call at a certain time. It would help during family "outings", first dates, etc.
