Bump is an app that basically solves the problem of having to manually input a new contact into your phone.  You select which contact fields you like to send over and then hold your phone in your fist and give the old college bro fist bump to your new friend who does the same.  This feature is great but it does have one small problem.  If you’re potential new friend doesn’t have the app they’ll have to download it before you can bro your way to getting their info.

This would be most effective as a native iPhone feature but its an amazing idea!

Coachella has the right idea with there iPhone/iPod touch app for this years festival. The free app features a festival lineup, Coachooser (personal schedule), a photo upload section, friend finder and an interactive map.  They definitely hit the right feature set of but the overall interface came through very stock and unbranded. Connectivity issues may make using the interactive map somewhat tough.  I’d like to see artist profiles as part of the scheduling tool which would allow attendees to easily preview embedded 30 second clips and videos. Overall the app comes up a little short but its a step in the right direction for mobile apps and the festival experience.
