markmon from modmyifone.com whipped up a quick app for speed dialing (at request of my wife). Get it from my installer repository: http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo (add to installer).
Speed Dial allows you to add some speed dial numbers into your phone. This was something all phones have that Apple left out. Now you can add names and numbers and store them so they can be dialed with one click. The app also will launch contacts for you so you can remove the contacts off your desktop if you use it.
You can also add 60x60 thumbnails with the user's picture by copying that picture to the /var/root/Library/SpeedDial directory. Name the png the same name as the name of the contact (ie: Fred Smith would have "Fred Smith.png" file).
Here is a screen shot of the app in action:

In the future, I want to interface with the address book and pull numbers/pictures from that. I would also like to make more of a grid view with say 6 large photos on the screen. Anyways, this is enough for now.
you can review the initial app posting here
