Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / July 2008iTunes apps store is open for buisness
Update iTunes to 7.7 and check it out... 552 applications. Of those, 417 are paid apps, and 135 are free. Of those that are paid, the most common prices were $0.99 for 85 apps, $9.99 for 82 apps, and $4.99 for 62 apps. They've compiled a bar graph of the prices, which you can see after the break. iPhone News <invalid@nospam.net> wrote in news:invalid- CCC933.22334010072008@news.giganews.com: > Update iTunes to 7.7 and check it out... > > 552 applications.

I don't want to sign up for iTunes JUST to look at a list of apps available for the FruitFone. Why are they hiding it from the general public? It seems like FruitFone apps would be the biggest selling point of 3G, beyond the faster speeds in some areas.

Macs are so much more advanced in the graphics, audio and video department it's laughable, so windows needs QuickTime plug in all the gaps that Microsoft has no idea about. download it and see, or just get a Mac and not deal with the flimsy windows platform. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ Why would I download it ? No need for it. Plain and simple. How's the 3G iPhone working with Flash ? ; } I forgot, It won't. >> 80 megs of crap for the install. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ > Why would I download it ?

If it had a user replaceable battery those apps would not be a problem for the battery. You would do just like any other cell phone user does. Swap it out. Apple being the money sluts they are prevent that. Yes you can if you have the tools. But not in the field use. How long has iTunes been out ? Never Installed it as of yet and never will. >> Why would I download it ? No need for it.

What's "half the price?" Apples gives up on their revenue sharing ideas, allowing AT&T to subsidize it the same $250-300 they subsidize every other high-end phone and this is supposed to be a massive price cut? iPhone I buyer should be steaming mad that Apple "stole" the two-year contract subsidy any other phone would've entitled them to, in the form of a long-term revenue-sharing commission! But, all is back to normal now- in just one short year, after Apple was going to "change the wireless business forever," the "evil cellular companies" are back in the driver's seat, Apple's commission concept is dead, at-home activation is but a memory, and Apple will soon get back in line with Nokia, Motorola, LG, Samsung, etc. building devices to carrier specifications. Give it another year, and "iTunes activation" will likely be history altogether, after AT&T gets tired of having a list of special considerations and procedures for one company's products. > your mixed metaphor doesn't hold up. It was supposed to sound as ridiculous as your battery diatribe. Obviously, many design desions are made for many reasons, but Apple wouldn't shrink the batery because it lasts as long in the new model as the old one did in the old- besides, as you've linked, Walt Mossberg already told us battery life is less in the new model. Obviously, form factor was the consideration- the new phone was designed to be roughly the same size as the old, and I suspect the new battery was all they could fit in. The poor engineers apparently didn't even have enough room left to squeeze in voice dialing! ;-) >> ifixit.com reports the NEW battery is SMALLER than the old battery! >> The old battery was 1.4AH and the new battery is 1.1AH....a [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > that matches that goal. so it's good the battery is smaller because > that means the electronics are better this year, than last. I suppose by now, hours later, you've read the many reports of much reduced battery runtimes from realtime testing.....using the same battery tests used on the first model. The old phone ran much longer than this puppy....so I'll ignore the other digs below this thread. > > which means the 2.0 components are less battery draining. apple simply > > starts with a "base line" for battery usage. then uses the battery [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > The old phone ran much longer than this puppy....so I'll ignore the other > digs below this thread. turn off 3G and it will be exactly the same... what SJ said about the poor performance of 3G is true, so it's better to go with pure WiFI and do an end run around the old monopoly of cell phone companies... they are dead anyway, so let's all grow up and kill them faster... bad battery life is a CONDITION of a non-competitive market... apple is simply waiting for them to die off, thus WiFi / WiMax is the answer "long term"... and Apple is just positioning themselves for the "great fall" of AT&T and Verizon, etc... learn how the computer industry works, it's FAR more efficient than the cell industry. we all laugh at how poorly cell companies are run each and every minute... > ifixit.com reports the NEW battery is SMALLER than the old battery!

Never Installed it as of yet and never will. you're really missing out. it's not-unlike saying, "I'll never install a Web Browser, never have installed one, and never will". iTunes is GREAT, probably the most important app on the planet of the last 5 years. so sad you aren't closing your eyes to such a wonderful new world.

Why are they hiding it from the general public? LOL! you do not have a clue. "sign up"? you don't sing up for anything you idiot. It should be funny to read the rambles of you and the other jealous Nokia fanboys as iPhone 2.0 raves come in. > > > Update iTunes to 7.7 and check it out... > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > enjoy... I think it is easier to do it straight from the new iPhone. They use the same interface as iTunes has in the ITunes store on the phone except it is dedicated to iphone applications. Apple is sorry because they included some crap for the unwary that I would not allowed but hopefully that will quickly shake out. > > anyone can see the entire list, just open up itunes, go to the itunes > > store, and they are in the first column, marked "App Store" (New). [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the same interface as iTunes has in the ITunes store on the phone > except it is dedicated to iphone applications. i thought that too, but went to the iTunes store for something else and the larger screen and the ability to batch download, then sync makes it quicker, much quicker. > Apple is sorry because they included some crap for the unwary that I > would not allowed but hopefully that will quickly shake out. yeah, there are some weak apps in there, but the reviewing system helps figure that out... all the Tip calculators is absurd :) |
