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

Reminds me of Micro Machines, pretty slick graphics.

Canabalt

Try and make it as far as you can... Damn walls.

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.

Night Stand

Great alarm clock. You can choose different themes too.

Facebook

This doesn't need a description. Just connects to your facebook page.

iStat

Great program stats, shows battery life and memory usage.

Ambiance

Download and play many ambient sounds to relax with.

Biorhythms

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.

iZoom - Camera Zoom App

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.

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.
