Grand Theft Apple

Jan 23, 2009 11:16

So I can now obtain any and all iphone apps for the low low price of nothing but I feel bad stealing from small developers. I have no issue with taking from Apples pocket but lots of app devs are tinkerers and one man operations, therefore I have qualms.

Any paid apps that I should try?

I would've suggested the $999 "I Am Rich" application, but it seems like it's no longer there. :(

If you're going to rip off someone, try out the ridiculously expensive apps that you'd never actually buy anyway. Browse through the apps, especially the "business" section, and you'll see many >$100 apps. What the heck do they do that would be worth so much?

Lexi-DENTAL SELECT?

Lexi-Comps are exceptionally useful and putting them on a PDA is a great idea. However, 300 bones is a little steep. The paper edition costs 150 or so. Expensive but there is quite a bit of intellectual property between the pages, and the authors usually have 16 or so letters after their names. Ex: John Smith, MD, RN, MBA, etc...
There is a clone of the Rich app in the Cydia repositories called Am I rich? Which I did download but realized it was just kind of silly so off it went.
The head and neck anatomy flashcards have an error on them too! They reversed two little holes found in the jawbone. Minor mistake but when you publish an anatomy text, you had better be right.
