I was thinking TV remote controls. All you'd need would be an IR emitter on the phone, and they could have an app that would put controls for your TV/Video/Satellite/Cable on the phone screen. Why have all those remotes lying around the place when one phone could do it all?
That is exactly what I was thinking when I was fumbling with all these battery eating remotes. Also car alarms.

I really can't think of anything else you could put into a phone. Remote control app would be the last thing I can think of.

I think they already have remote control apps for those who have the same ISP and cable provider.

I can change the channels on my tv with my phone.

It's not a Vulcan, the Vulcan is a 20mm gun. It's the Avenger I think, and in any case, it's the only 30mm gun on an american aircraft.
