iPhone Appstore irritations PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 27 July 2009

This just annoys me! People package Public Domain books, likely created by volunteers at Gutenberg, and sell them as individual e-books on the AppStore. You can download most of these free in Stanza or simply download them off the web and upload them to your phone using one of the file applications. Stanza is free by the way!

Today I see another application along these lines called Cartoon Classics Lite. There is a pay version too... In the lite version they limit the amount of cartoons you can get and for both the pay and lite versions you have to be on WiFi to use them. PEOPLE!!! These are Public Domain cartoons! You can open You Tube on your iPhone, search Public Domain Cartoons and watch without WiFi. You can also download these off the internet and upload them to your phone.

I also noticed that AOL Radio and SHOUTcast are the same application! Yep, look at the interface as well as the fav and station buttons. Basically a company pays to have a developer build an app and they just use a skeleton application... Since these are free I can't really complain, but if you think people are working hard to bring you quality products just remember, it's a buy and label world, not an industrious and innovative world – those days are gone, just ask George Foreman.
