I've been spending a while on the Itunes App Store tonight as i am getting my Itouch when they come in stock at my store on tuesday. So i haven't tried out any of the apps i have downloaded, but i must say, there is a lot of absolute sh#t on here. For instance right now i am looking at an application called rubber duck. Its a picture of a rubber duck. Press it and it squeaks. The dev wants $1.19 for it. Many of the pages look like Apple is keeping no control over them either. And the store is also slow as hell hat times.

Away from frustrations now. How are people finding the App store and Apps? what Apps do you recommend, and which don't you. I went ahead and bought Pangea's Billy frontier just to see what it's like. It left me with $1.12, 7 cents off the price of all the cheapest apps, so now i'm stuck with $1.12 i cant use. I also saw an Iphone add today that feature Cro Mag Rally. Go Pangea.

iSSH is win since the update, especially if you don't want to JB. SSH is a large part of my love for the iPhone.

I forgot to mention, Pangea is having a sale on all they're Mac OS X Portable applications. You can pick up Cro Mag rally for 2.50!

I just got my iTouch yesterday and spent the evening playing w/ it. I picked up Big Bang Board Games and Cro-Magnum Rally. I saw this morning where Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is out now. I may have to check it out. One thing is for sure, that App Store is going to be a bottomless money pit for me. Maybe DJJ can tutor me, and I can make some $ back. ;)

Grab Line Rider and X-Plane too. Both are superb.

Garden Marbles now submitted and waiting green light from Apple. But you should see my third title ... Cloud Girls ... it is almost complete and people I show it to are blown away. Only last sound effects and high scores to finish. It could be my huge break out game. Gives me shivers thinking about how well it's turning out.
