- zzttrooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Their math is valid. it's exactly the same thing as giving away any prize, including cars. Prizes are usually given as promotional gifts for large poular contests and of course game shows. This is no different. Every application vendor is giving away 5000 copies of their application.
That's $50000 worth of sales for a $10 program. Of course no one person is going to benefit from that figure. But if you take the $10 average, that's $320 worth of software for everyone who downloads each day (32 days).
Seems like a good deal for consumers and a decent deal for developers who want to give away a fixed number of units. Some o fthe other promotions gaining popularity recently don't offer much benefit to the consumer and very little to no benefit to the developer. - goodcompany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Last Christmas I got a fire poker set, so they could unfortunately be right about this. Please don't be right about this.

- Futurhopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0frankly, i'm just gonna download allof the apps, saving them o an archive. you never know what you will need down the road. will it have iClip?
stupid question. no one would know. - Eupfhoria, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0You are giving away free software. That is wonderful. I plan to return often and download all 31 apps and I will continue to use the .
Please though, don't try to say you are giving away $1.5 Million. It costs you nearly nothing and the people who are downloading your apps probably hadn't heard of it previously and thus would not be paying you anything.
Sure it is $1.5 million worth of shareware, but it is not equivalent to giving away 10 Ferarris
