Our man, Charlie Chambers, is always busy developing something. Two days ago he came up with an idea to make your iPhone rock. And within 8 hours Mock Dock was up and running; after 24 hours it was fully functional; and today it launches to much fanfare. It’s my go-to app on my iPhone.

If you’re an iPhone user, you have to check out Mock Dock. This bad boy is really a time saver, and a great way to access iPhone-ready apps using the world’s best “phone.”

Here’s the writeup on the site:

Mock Dock
by Charlie Chambers

Developers cannot make true iPhone applications. Instead, 3rd-party iPhone applications are web-apps. While native iPhone apps, like Calendar and Weather, have spiffy icons on the home screen, web-apps are relegated to the bookmarks where they look plain and get mixed in with all kinds of other sites.
Enter Mock Dock.

Mock Dock makes your iPhone apps look more like apps. You get a home screen that looks familiar, and works like the rest of your phone. You also get a handy way to find new apps as they become available.

Mock Dock is free. If your app is in our list (or isn’t), and there is anything you’d like to change about the listing, please send a note to charlie.chambers@mockdock.com.

Next up: Charlie is working on some HR-related apps for your iPhone. It’s an exciting time.
