Finally: A Screenwriting App For Your iPhone!
Well, this was sort of inevitable, and yet it had never even occurred to us: Screenplay is a $2.99 app for the iPhone, and has all the basic functionality of Final Draft: It offers formatting, scene elements, auto-complete character names, pagination and scene re-ordering. Mitigate the shame of being one of those “laptops in coffeeshops” people, as you apply the final touches to your third draft punch-up while everyone else assumes you’re playing Enviro-Bear 2000. (No idea if it accepts Final Draft files.) Just remember, kids: screendriving is dangerous and against the law! [iPhoneAppReviews.net]

I'd rather be playing Baby Shaker.

Just what the world needs, more wannabe screenwriters.

Based on the dreadful writing of this year's summer blockbusters, Hollywood studios need all the help they can get.

So nice to see yet another random nobody judging the work of the screenwriter based on the film, even though they've never read the script (::teaching::you see, the screenwriter is credited for telling the story in the script ... not in the film) -- pretty predictable of you, dear nobody.
Keep it up -- your lack of depth, and willingness to pay to see such movies, fuels the Hollywood studios to make more.
Writing a screenplay on your iPhone sounds pretty inefficient and trendy to me -- I bet anything you'll see a few people in Starbucks on Sunset tapping away rigorously for hours ... most likely only completing one page in that time.
Wannabe screenwriter? What ever floats your boat. If you're writing a screenplay, then you're a screenwriter; if not, then you're not.
I'd love to debate the validity of a screenwriter with you further, but don't want to take up space here -- click my name to visit my post in which I pose my opinion regarding your statement above.

What's the smugness factor of a screenwriter screenwriting on an iPhone? It multiplies exponentially like the Richter scale, doesn't it?
Also, does it have a Shake-To-Revise feature?

Writing a screenplay on the phone may not be everyone's cup of tea but once Apple releases its tablet then this app could have a much more useful platform to run on.

Hilarious. Well done. But you forgot the [Reap in billions in cash] button.
