looks nice, but $4...

if you made it $1 you would see a LOT more sales.

i would rather have all my news sites bookmarked in safari (as i do) then pay $4 then have to use the app constantly until it knows what i want to read.

you could also make a free version with ads in it, then people could try it without opening up installous and grabbing the full version.

except you can't read them offline, and surely you find juggling bookmarks infuriating? we think of broadershet as similar to instapaper for reading great content wherever you are.

$4 for a lifetime of interesting news seems good in our eyes :)

Facebook, BeejiveIM, Navigon GPS, Twitter, Flight Control, I often use them. I know this shop http://www.accessorygeeks.com/apple-accessories.html that have best Apples. I always come here to get iPhone Apple devices. Here are a good device with a low price, free shipping. Thanks in advance

Way to spam... Anyways...

Games:

Platinum Solitaire

Awesome solitaire and other card games.

Tower Bloxx

Build a tower as high as you can without it falling over, great timewaster!

Alice Greenfingers

Watch the time fly by as you play this addicting farming game.

Nano Rally

Canabalt

There is a review here on Neowin

Unblock Me

Basically the classic car jam game, you have to work out how to get a certain block out.

UNO

Everybody should know what UNO is, if not, it's a really fun card game.

Applications:

Convertbot

Converts pretty much every measurement out there.

Great alarm clock. You can choose different themes too.

iStat

Great program stats, shows battery life and memory usage.

Download and play many ambient sounds to relax with.

Shows your Physical, Emotional and Intellectual status for the day.

Beejive IM - best IM app

Redlaser - barcode reader

Files - copy files over wifi and view standard files

Remote - control iTunes from your iPhone

I've got a ton of apps and games on my phone and those above 4 are the best. I haven't played the games

i have enough to rate them, but doom and dungeon hunters are both a lot of fun.

$4 is still too much.

You would probably see more than 4x sales at $1 then at $4, more money for you in the end.

Compare it to other apps are that price.

Alive4ever has bluetooth peer to peer, has amazing graphics and good controls, probably took a lot of time and skill to make, it's $3 and I bought it on sale for $1.

Pocket God - Fun Game with Pygmies

IM+ - Instant Messenger App

IM+ was the first IM client I bought because it was the cheapest that supported PUSH. I was never really happy with it... i did a test to see how long it would take to receive a notification from a FB IM. Sometimes the notifications wouldn't ever hit my phone...sometimes it took up to 10 or more minutes. Just not very reliable. Then whenever I would respond to a notification it was like the whole app had to reboot. When I went from WiFi to 3g or Edge I would have to logout on all my IMs and relogin.

I switched to Beejive IM and I've been very satisfied. All notifications come in within a few seconds, and it has a very graceful transition between a notification and the chat screen for that person. You can also associate people on your buddy list with their contact info on your phone. For Facebook users, if the contact on your phone doesn't already have a photo it will place the photo from FB for you. Awesome app.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
