iphone beta testers needed

Hello beta testers!

The information below is divided into three parts: Welcome, 6 steps to sign up and frequently asked questions.

Welcome
BasicIP Management, Inc. is developing an iPhone application (iCapture! which is short for Invention Capture) for capturing invention ideas. The application will implement a very simple invention disclosure (click here or Invention Disclosure pdf). It is an open question whether people will be able to use this to do full disclosures, or just to start disclosures and then email the disclosure back to their laptop for completion. We’d like you to try the application and let us know what you think.

If you would like to participate in the beta testing of iCapture! all you need to do is to email your iPhone’s device ID which you can copy from iTunes (step by step instructions below). After I have your device ID I’ll email you a file to drag from email and drop on to iTunes. Then all you have to do is to sync iTunes and the iCapture! app will be installed on your iPhone.

If you don’t have time, no problem. Hit delete now. If you do have time, the instructions below will tell you how to copy your device ID and email it to me. If you know of anyone who might be interested in having a voice into an iCapture! application, please feel free to forward this email to them. If you have questions about iCapture!, please give me a call, I’m delighted to tell you about my grandchildren … um … no … talk about what iCapture! is, what iCapture! does, and what iCapture! might be able to do to make the inventing playing field a level, smooth-running, meritocracy.

6 simple steps to sending your device ID!
Thank you for considering helping BasicIP on this project. Here are the 6 simple steps to send your iPhone or iPod Touch device ID:

To send your device ID to a Bill Meade (bill@basicip.com) for testing iCapture!:

1. Launch iTunes.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select the device in the Devices list.
4. In the Summary pane, click the Serial Number label. It changes to Identifier.
5. Choose Edit > Copy.
6. Email your device identifier to bill@basicip.com

Please include your device name in the email (ex., my iPhone is named BillPhone if you have an iPod Touch the name of that device will be different from your iPhone). After you’ve sent me your device ID, I’ll build up a batch of IDs and email you back the program for you iPhone is about a week. That email will give you the 3 step instructions on how to get iCapture! on your iPhone so you can play with it.
