Online resources go mobile with student-developed iPhone applications. Stanford is in the beginning stages of making several of its core web-based systems and services available to students as applications on Apple’s iconic iPhone.

I used instant messaging for poetry around the exchange of metaphors and similies. This was of course a relavent form of discourse to the MSN-Gen. The BeeJive developers are proud to offer 24/7 connectivity, meaning you can receive IMs even if the app is closed. They accomplish this feat by connecting you through their servers and sending you updates through email if you receive an IM while the application is closed.

The Stanford iPhone project was born with the intention of delivering powerful and helpful solutions to students– right to their phones. Terriblyclever worked closely with Stanford University to conceptualize a set of applications for the iPhone that could truly impact student-life at Stanford.

This hard-work and thinking resulted in five closely integrated applications that can be seen in closer detail throughout this website.

This application can measure your heart rate using one of two methods. One way is to place the iPhone, microphone-down, on the bottom of your wrist, or chest — this method produced poor results.

The other method, which works well, is to use the standard Apple headset/mic combo and place the microphone portion on your neck. Both methods are sketchy in a noisy room, as Heart Monitor uses sound to detect your heart beat.
