Dead wrong. How about you learn to ***** read before you comment. Free/open source apps will be hosted on the iTunes store for free. Also, there will most likely be a way to just sideload an app from your PC/Mac after downloading from a website or compiling in xCode.]]>Mar 7th 2008 3:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/Mar 6th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/Mar 7th 2008 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/
11:08AM - "You know what price a lot of devs pick? Free.

I ask you this, if developers can make money without charging money for software--such as google does--does this really go against your free market ideology, or does it fit therein?

The distinction between charging money and making money.

"I ask you this, if developers can make money without charging money for software--such as google does--does this really go against your free market ideology, or does it fit therein?"

OH SHIT! I DID mention that google makes money AND I mentioned that they don't charge money.

WHAT THE HELL?

When I buy an Apple product I expect FREE SYSTEM UPDATES, and instead Apple is fucking all of its early iPod Touch owners over REPEATEDLY.

Now that it's become clear that this is a pattern and not a one-time thing, without question this is the last iPod I will ever buy. I've already started telling people on multiple forums about this and telling them NOT to buy iPods, and I will continue to do so.

Fuck you, Apple.
Charging for software is one thing, but charging for system updates?
Not even Microsoft does that kind of shit.]]>Mar 6th 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/
I think you should calm down. Obviously there is a Sarbanes Oxley issue at hand. Now that doesn't mean they can't charge $1.99 for new functionality, but no one really knows yet.

Don't trust free? I guess you haven't used Firefox, Apache, Linux, or most of the apps that are included in OS X. How about Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP, or Java?

Apple will NOT charge to put apps on the store.
If the DEVELOPER decides to make the app free, the app will be free.

I mean sure there's the music and everything-- but those costs are usually associated with a 'music' player. With the iPhone, you're not only paying for the device, but all the monthly fees for the phone... (data, voice, message... etc.). So with the iPhone, Apple is still getting money even AFTER you have bought the device. With the iPod, however, you only buy the iPod once (hopefully :P) and after that it's to your hearts desire. Therefore, Apple charges for the updates (but I still maintain my position on the January Software Upgrade being free-- just not the App Store).

the point is - the i-Phone will be able to do more stuff than it already does and/or do it better. you won't have to buy a new phone. personally, I am happy to pay for anything I need or want. in other words - i don't ask anyone to work for free or to give me their time for free. i believe you'll find this is how the universe works. sure - some people over- charge for their work. others undercharge. like I said - money is energy. this is a concept not well understood by many. money is just something we use to measure value. if you are a plumber you might have some difficulty feeding your family if you try to charge five grand an hour when most all other plumbers charge one hundred. if you are a plumber who can fix leaks and unclog drains with a magic wand in two seconds, you are going to make more money by charging for results. if you are a plumber who must spend two hours with a monkey wrench and a snake to do the same task as mr. magic wand plumber, you are going to make less money, unless of course magic wand plumber only works two seconds a day and you work all day.

the point being - some people do things that are more valuable to more people and therefore make more money. if what you do is valuable - you need to first prove it, then make others aware of it, then charge what you want. if others agree on the value of what you do they will pay it. just as they are paid for what they do. barristas are worth eight or nine bucks an hour because (fill in the blank). brain surgeons are paid a ton because (fill in the blank).

get it? it's a simple concept that few seem to grasp. money is energy. if my energy is worth five grand an hour and yours ten bucks an hour and hers sixty bucks an hour and we all go to starbucks and buy a four dollar coffee drink, how much did the coffee cost each of us?

it's not personal. the point is - the idea of getting something of value for free is (fill in the blank). ]]>Mar 8th 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/06/apple-announces-app-store-for-iphone-ipod-touch/Mar 9th 2008 7:59AM
