AppStore Limited Time Freebies (4/10/09)

Celebrate Easter Weekend with Free Apps

It’s Good Friday, a time for fasting and penance. So for those practicing, this is a day of rewards and remembrance*.

For those not practicing, this is a day to give Installous a break. Seriously, their servers will continue to crash and they will continue to require more “donations.”

If you have an insatiable hunger for free apps after a long day of abstaining from eating meat, then get your fill below…

FantasyLens

Remember those dolls of animals with baby faces, those were creepy. This app is not, put your friends faces on random works of art.

BumpChat

This is a dating app. Meet people around you, get to know them, and quit peddling your availability on twitter.

ILoseWeight

Stand on your iPhone**. Track your weight and bmi.

DrunkDialNo

One less thing to worry about. Blocks you from contacting people you probably shouldn’t after a night of drinking. For some people this app should be mandatory.

Pret-a-Yoga

Girls in skintight, primary-colored outfits get in yoga positions.

TypeType SpeedTyper

A game that penalizes you for typing too fast. For others it might actually help improve your iPhone texting speed.

AppStore Limited Time Freebies (4/8/09)

Developers are always offering promotional downloads or in most cases redemptive ones.

If an app is complained about enough, a developer will offer it for free until their next update and promise to fix it. If an app is new to the market, the developer promotes it through a free limited time download so it can create buzz. It’s a never ending cycle that benefits some consumers and screws others.

So take part and download these free apps with a clear conscience.

Here is a list of free apps available for a limited time, beginning on April 8th. Hurry up and download. Don’t forget to check back often for updates.

TwitterPics

Sick of following people, follow their photos.

Splat!

Squish happy bugs, because well…they’re bugs.

Redo

Another todo list, but this one’s free.

iGlider

Fly a paper airplane through mazes.

iEggs

Take eggs back to their nest.

MixDeck Scratch DJ

Work a turntable, but not to your songs.

AppStore Limited Time Freebies

Return of Free Apps

These applications are available for a limited time only. So be sure to download yours today. Check back often for new App Store Freebies.

Gamebox Arcade

Pop it, twist it, turn it, squeeze it, spin it, flip it (just like that commercial)
…for old school sound effects.

Thumb Wars

If you’ve watched “Over the Top” with Sylvester Stallone, than you know this game has nothing to do with it…except maybe the training part. Training to be a better thumb war…er…warrior.

Praise a Kid

When you just can’t find something nice to say about someones kid…

Laser Tag

“This game does not actually fire a laser from your device”
(Actual Game Warning)

Bowling for Burgers

Does anyone else miss elf bowling?

Microsoft Buys Cydia/Windows on the iPhone

April Fools: A Recap and the Resulting Aftermath

If you missed out on April Fools, here’s a quick recap of the most memorable contributions.

Microsoft Buys Cydia

If you noticed the new blurb on Cydia’s homepage, you’re not the only one. iPhone forums around the web were flooded with posts cursing Jay Freeman’s name for selling out. Youtube was also undertaken by users uploading angry video posts.

It’s actually surprising that many people do not take into account that developers have senses of humor as well.

Although judging by the explanation, maybe it was believable…

if, in the words of Wayne Campbell, you were a gulli-bull or even a gulli-calf.

Windows Emulated on the iPhone

The real question is, why would you ever want to run a mess of an operating system like Windows on your iPhone…I guess why not.

Here’s a loading screen, filled with fantastically useless words.

and a far more accurate portrayal of Windows than you see on commercials with little kids claiming to be PCs.

If you have a favorite April Fools iPhone related prank, please post it below.

CyDelete: Gives Cydia an AppStore Facelift

Dustin Howett releases CyDelete, a Cydia add-on that streamlines the removal process of third party apps on your iPhone.

Removing an application from Cydia use to be a 6-part process.
1. Open Cydia
2. Go to Manage
3. Find your App
4. Click Modify
5. Click Remove
6. Click Confirm

CyDelete gives Cydia the form and function of AppStore removal.
1. Hold finger on any icon
2. Wait for icons to wiggle
3. Click the “x” that appears by the app
4. Confirm delete

This is another giant step by Cydia and its contributors to enhance the user experience on jailbroken iPhones.

CyDelete is available for download on Cydia and is highly recommended for all users.

*If you SSH’d a third-party app, the only way to remove it would be to SSH back into your iPhone and delete it.
