I have a great idea for an iPhone/Andoid App. It would be called Call Screener.
Everyone has people in their contact list they do not necessarily want to talk to, right? Do you answer your mother every time she calls? In-laws, ex-girlfriends/boyfriends, your boss, etc., etc. Call Screener would allow you to tag people's numbers so that when they call it goes directly to voice mail. The phone wouldn't even ring. You would still be able to see that they called and listen to any voice mail messages, but later, and at your discretion.
A secondary feature would be the ability to block numbers, such as telemarketers, automatically canceling the call without sending them to voice mail.
How hard would this be? Am I just a mad dreamer?

That's not a bad idea. Has it been done? On a side note i'm learning to program but I have a few other app ideas I wanna do first. Talk to Nas and his programming buddies

I've looked and there doesn't appear to be anything quite like that. It's strange because it seems like such an obvious idea, I can't believe no one else has thought of it.

I'm not sure if that's possible for the iPhone's app store. But if it is, I'd pay money for that app. lol.

Thing with apps you have to make sure they have no bugs, then you need to pitch the idea, plus you will need to maintain it. Don't forget if it is an original idea you need a patent.

Well, when whatever
that means gets you a BMW and a house by the beach and -- most importantly -- freedom from the tyranny of the alarm clock, we'll talk. Until then I'll take tangible richness, please.

Jor, the reason why your iPhone app hasn't been done is that the iPhone doesn't have control over call routing.
Some telephone companies offer that service, to automatically route some phone calls directly to voice mail, though.

I'm sure you can if you jailbreak it, but that voids your warranty. for a good reason, my dad jailbroke his and was showing off all the cool stuff it can do. Went to restart it and it wouldn't come back on. He eventually decided to hook it back up to itunes and reset to factory settings. whipped the whole thing clean.
He then restored all his stuff from his backup and jailbroke it again..... lol

I just looked on my android phone and under my options for each contact I can toggle a true/false of "Send calls directly to Voicemail"
