Who Called Us
Who Called UsDon’t you just hate it when you get a call on your cell phone and you don’t recognize the number? Happens to me about twice a day! You can use a service called “Who Called Us” to find out the identity of an unlisted number. You can look up those annoying “name unavailable” or “unknown” phone numbers. You can also see how many other people received a call from that number, and help collectively fight phone spam. The site is designed for mobile phones.

ScanR
ScannrScanR is a mobile web service that helps you capture paper documents or whiteboards using your mobile phone camera, convert it into a digitized format, and then store it online, email it, or fax it to anywhere in the world.

It even has a Facebook application that you can use to share lecture notes with friends. Pretty cool!
