- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -14/+133How many of these apps will enable copy/paste?
- obsolite, on 07/10/2008, -1/+31Like when someone emails me a password or a login name? Or when someone sends me an MMS via email because I can't accept MMS through my phone?
I agree the "copy/paste" comments are trite, but don't pretend like you wouldn't get a lot of use out of the function. That's just a lie. - xObsoletex, on 07/10/2008, -4/+32"Of these, 25% will be free and 90% will cost $9.99 or less."
I think the that could have been worded better.
At least the article gets it right: "Of these, 25% will be free and 90% (of those for sale) will cost $9.99 or less." - Daniel591992, on 07/10/2008, -1/+23None. Apps can't run in the background.
- BrendanSheehan, on 07/10/2008, -0/+20Except Apple's of course.
- robEstyles, on 07/10/2008, -4/+21The best app of all the "not on an AT&T network app"
- TheWorm, on 07/10/2008, -0/+13That piano app in the thumbnail is 6 bucks. I think some developers need to rethink their price points.
- DanteDefiance, on 07/10/2008, -1/+14It's available right now friend of friends!
http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/iphone-firmware ... - Coolmatt49, on 07/10/2008, -2/+13"Thursday night"? So does that mean the 2.0 update will be available then?
- acevoncash, on 07/10/2008, -1/+12it should be even more later. I see small developers writing apps that do the same stuff for much cheaper than the big name apps, if not free. It will push the price of all apps down.
- inactive, on 07/10/2008, -1/+11If its palm or MS Mobile > 10,000 or more.
- ha3er0, on 06/16/2009, -1/+10Your assessment of not being a genius is correct!
Well Done. - acevoncash, on 07/10/2008, -1/+10not to mention there is absolutely nothing preventing free open source apps from being in the store..
- coolingstar9, on 07/10/2008, -3/+11I am looking forward to the new phone.
- MD12, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8Free is less than 9.99, therefore included in the 90%.
Good try though. - iet2004, on 07/10/2008, -2/+9you know...generally speaking....most people tend NOT to click on links that they're not interested in. I'm not sure how your mouse (your brain?) works but....that's just what I think happens on most people's computers. But who am I to say? I can't be everywhere at once.
- lurkndog, on 07/10/2008, -0/+7If they're Treo smartphones, tens of thousands.
Though, current development is sluggish, and there are some notable holes, like lack of a really good browser. - colourclassic, on 07/10/2008, -8/+15*Changes Pants* This is going to be awesome!
- diggymow, on 07/10/2008, -0/+6It will have to be (Well iTunes 7.7 will be at least) because the phone will be out in Australia and New Zealand by then.
- dyranios2, on 07/10/2008, -1/+7sorry i dont want my hand held I want something open I can do whenever,
I can't forward SMS's so let me copy and paste at least, same with notes/email to SMS,
Information from the internet, etc - eastmanweb, on 07/10/2008, -2/+8Assuming these apps are generally decent (as dictated by the app approval process), then I must say that I'm impressed with the initial quantity. I wasn't expecting it to start out that high.
- sideburns, on 07/10/2008, -1/+7What about an MMS app? I browsed through all 500 and didn't see one. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's disappointing to say the least.
- schoate09, on 07/10/2008, -1/+7To clear it up, this is what they mean:
90% $9.99 or less including 25% free
10% > $9.99 - quaxon, on 07/10/2008, -1/+7exactly, especially when you can get the same exact thing for free + a dozen or so instrument add ons for it for free via installer.
- TomFrost, on 07/10/2008, -2/+7You're not the target market for this phone. You're acting like the iPhone is some horrible abomination that tries to do everything AND make calls, and that no one should need that. Have you ever heard of Blackberry, Palm phones, or Windows Mobile? This is just another device out of many that allows people to converge into a device that handles all mobile electronic needs. And if you don't need your E-mail on the go, then none of these things are for you.
- scheibs14, on 07/10/2008, -3/+8I wish I wasn't so broke, the iPhone seems like a big money trap
- xObsoletex, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4It says July 10th...
- DigDugDigger, on 07/10/2008, -1/+5Hopefully ApolloIM will be in the App store or some jailbreak will enable its use in 2.0. The AIM client, from a interface perspective, looks very 1995... just what you'd expect from the company.
- obsolite, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4115% better.
- M4rx15t, on 07/10/2008, -4/+8In all honesty bro, Apple is a money trap.
- Redge, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4Direct link to the Remote iTunes Apps.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/ ... - Jerk, on 07/10/2008, -2/+6Apps on Installer pale in comparison to many of those in the App Store.
- KJSatz, on 07/10/2008, -1/+5I don't know if you have access to more info than I've seen, but I thought they meant what they said, and 1/4 are free and 9/10 are under $10 (this includes the 1/4 for free).
- DanteDefiance, on 07/10/2008, -1/+5I posted this as a reply up yonder but:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/iphone-firmware ...
GET IT!! - sleepwalkers, on 07/10/2008, -0/+4And that is MMS in what way?
- superkendall, on 07/10/2008, -2/+5Possibly, but the larger developers can always improve the apps they have. It's worth paying more for something that works better.
- Qumahlin, on 07/11/2008, -0/+3"If Apple had thrown all of this at people initially it would have been overwhelming and caused the phone to flop. "
I'm no apple fanboy, but Apple's name is built around taking the complex and making it simple. Using the features on the iphone really require no instructions at all. - woody168, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3with a name like wise "ass" gandalf (as much as he wants to sounded like wise as gandalf) what kind of intelligent question can you really expect him to say? folks, I think we are expecting too much from a retarded kid here........
- darkened, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3You're clearly not, this has already been explained, that's 90% of the total apps are < $10, and 25% of the total apps are free which would be a portion of the 90% that are < $10.
- MikeSobe, on 07/10/2008, -4/+7I have this one, it's called VZ Navigator. It gives me turn by turn driving or walking directions along with looking up local gas stations and restaurants. How's your GPS doing?
- thatspsychotic, on 07/10/2008, -1/+4So according to the article, in total, (.25+(.9*.75)) = 92.5% of all apps will be $9.99 or less (including free). The engineer in me needed to do the math out.
- aychamo, on 07/10/2008, -2/+5A lot of these apps are complete *****. And a lot are duplicates. There are a few nice ones, but hte majority of ***** crap.
- gubatron2, on 07/10/2008, -2/+5engadget has so many apple related articles, there so much going on, can't imagine how boring it will be tomorrow once it comes out.
- fluidfoundation, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Didnt do that for me in 1.1.4
- Zippo, on 07/10/2008, -2/+4I really hope someone puts out a multi-protocol IM app on the App Store... as much as I like AIM/.Mac, very few people in North America use it anymore... everyone's using MSN these days.
I'd love to see Adium ported to the iPhone. - fluidfoundation, on 07/10/2008, -4/+6Don't you know? This is the iPhone site.
- mpredosin, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2I'm so glad I never paid for the software update for my iTouch.
- Virgule, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2Gotta remix the badger song
