While I think this app is ool – I’m very unlikely to buy it.

Objectograph have ‘skinned’ the iPhone to provide a rotary dial which is probably only something appreciated by people of my age. What this does show is that numbers can be generated by software and handed off to the phone application without an implicit verification process. This has implications for untrusted software – it would be a nasty surprise if an application loaded on the phone first detected whether there had been any movement (accelerometers?) in a certain number of minutes and then dialled a premium rate number? And all triggered by a push notification to attempt to activate every hour?
