iDial iPhone Analogue Style Rotary Dialler Application – A Modern Touchscreen Take on Retro Phone Diallers



iDial iPhone Analogue Style Rotary Dialler Application

Whist we’ve seen a drum machine application designed specifically for Apple’s iPhone, and even a particularly cool iPhone virtual Lego simulator, this rotary, analogue style dialler iDial application for the iPhone just about pips the aforementioned applications to the post in terms of overtly (retro inspired) coolness - though the virtual Lego application is undoubtedly a strong contender.

Agreed, some would argue that dialling numbers with rotary diallers is a right royal pain in the butt – especially if, towards the latter part of dialling the intended number, you make a mistake – but, whilst this may well be the case there’s just something extremely desirable about this rotary dialler application known as the iDial – not least, we suspect, because it offers a refreshingly modern (touchscreen) take on what is now a somewhat archaic means of digit input. And that’s notwithstanding the fact that the iDail application just looks plain cool.

A failsafe way of ensuring that not only you have one of the coolest looking iPhones around but also the most fingerprint smeared screen, the iDial application appears to be free and can purportedly be obtained by adding the site linked below as a source in the iPhone’s Installer.
