Apps of the Month: Best iPhone Apps of November
Posted on November 30, 2009 | No CommentsLast month we launched Apps of the Month: a series dedicated to profiling iPhone apps that you should actually buy, instead of the ones that simply got the most hype.

Apps of the Month: Best iPhone Apps of October 2009
Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
100,000. That's the number of iPhone apps that have been approved to be sold on Apple's App Store. So how the hell do you decide which ones to buy? Well, you could surf through the App Store's featured list, but that means you're only buying the ones Apple wants you to buy. Or, you could scour through the App Store's Genius recommendations - which are still not perfect in my opinion. To help you with this problem, we're going to create a "best of" list of the iPhone apps we enjoyed the most each month.

Three cool iPhone apps that are perfect for mobile news consumption
Posted on October 17, 2009 | No Comments
My name is Robin Wauters, and I'm a news junkie.
Being obsessed with consuming as much news - mostly technology related, of course - as humanly possible in the all too short span of any given day comes with the territory of working for TechCrunch, but I've always been a fan of obtaining as much information as fast as I could.
You could say my ever-growing habit of trying to consume as much news in my waking hours as I can is more of a natural cause for my employment in the fast-paced tech blogging scene than it is a result.
It also means I feel very disconnected when I'm not near a computer or mobile phone I can use to tap the Internet for the never-ending stream of news that gets pumped onto the wires.

Free iPhone apps can now include in-app purchases
Posted on October 15, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, Apple, iPhone OS
One of Apple's many curious restrictions on iPhone apps has now been lifted. It used to be that, in order for developers to have microtransactions / in-app purchases, they had to charge something upfront for the software, essentially requiring consumers to pay at least twice, or not at all. Well, all that's changed, as the company has sent word to its developer community that the restriction has been lifted, meaning those annoying "Lite" and "Full" versions cluttering the app store can now be one and the same, with folks downloading the demo and paying to upgrade from within the app itself, a model that's worked to success in other software ecosystems like Xbox Live. Sure, there's gonna be developers out there that abuse the newly-minted business model, but it's not like anything was stopping them before when they charged $2 upfront only to get you again later. The mass email announcement is reprinted after the break. [Warning: read link requires iPhone developer account]

iPhone app review: Applipedia
Posted on August 17, 2009 | No Comments
Does it seem to you, like it seems to me, that iPhone apps are the new way to drive traffic to various websites? With the always-on Internet connection of an iPhone, why bother building all the content into your app when it can simply phone home to fetch what it needs? In principle I have no problem with this: avoid duplicating data, and focus on providing a great product. In reality, though, people seem to abuse this model by quickly throwing together a decent looking app that doesn't really provide much value to the end user. Case in point: Palo Alto Networks' Applipedia web site and its associated iPhone app.

Yelp iPhone V.3 Hits The AppStore – Find Local Deals
Posted on August 12, 2009 | No CommentsYelp keeps rolling out new iPhone apps with compelling features. In April they released version 2 and added the ability for users to leave reviews on local businesses, a much needed feature since people want to chronicle their experiences as they happen. Version 3, which should be available soon, adds more useful features. The one that really stands out is "Sales And Offers Near You" which lets users find deals that are physically close to them. Sort by distance (in blocks), price, whether the business is open right then, or by neighborhood. Businesses can add special offers for free on their business page. Other features include movable maps, and new ways for users to add content. Users can vote on reviews with UFC buttons (useful, funny or cool) and send compliments to reviewers. Users can also now follow Talk conversations via the iPhone.

Android and iPhone Apps Cost About The Same, Except For Games And Dictionaries
Posted on August 6, 2009 | No CommentsDo the prices people are willing to pay for a phone app depend on the device or the type of app? A comparison of July prices in the iPhone App Store and the Android Market by app analytics firm Distimo found that across broad categories such as entertainment, navigation, and tools the average price for the Top 100 paid apps was very similar for both mobile computing platforms. There were a few exceptions. The average price for a paid reference app on Android is close to $9, which is more than twice the average price for the same category on the iPhone. This disparity is mostly due to some dictionary apps on Android priced between $15 and $30 (mostly from Paragon Software). I'm not sure those are big sellers, but it bumps up the average. Finance and social networking apps are also slightly more expensive on average. Games are on average about the same as on the iPhone, around $2.50. But if you look at the price distribution, that tells you a different story. While most of the top paid games on the iPhone go for $0.99, on Android many more games are priced between $1.99 and $4.99.

Five iPhone Apps That Replace Bike Hardware

Today, it’s the turn of the bicycle. It turns [...] -
