Are You Up For A Digital Dare?
I vaguely remember this from school. Don’t remember it being called a ‘chatterbox’ though. Nice idea though.

Egg Timer iPhone app
Love this app for Kalles that tells you how to boil the perfect egg, but also puts a playlist together that, when finished, means your egg is ready. It’s a small thing but a really nice touch.
I see way too many apps that are packed with “things” and “features” that don’t do any of them very well. Much prefer this single focus / brilliant execution approach.
By CP+B Europe, the app has already been downloaded more than 50,000 times.
