Get one for the folks in Washington that reminds them how big the deficit is.
Since it keeps growing, you just know there needs to be a way to track that day to day, minute to minute (rolls eyes).

No one with a clue is going to "day trade" their Vanguard accounts. Vanguard is the fund company for people with more sense than those who make margin calls and watch short-term stock behavior.
That said, why not an iPhone app for Vanguard? Maybe someone wants to dollar-cost average by putting smaller amounts into a Vanguard account at regular intervals, rather than just make a major investment once a year?
Vanguard investors are probably the least likely, even with an iPhone application, to sit around watching Jim Cramer fervently yelling out stock predictions every day (that guy is unbelievable, though very funny to watch, for sure).
