So this is the story : once upon a time there was a family ( man and wife ) , iPhone enthusiasts who decided to develop an iPhone/Touch applications. They did a research on that matter, spend approx 250 hours to code it, and on Xmas Eve last yr they released Whack ‘em All for .99 cents on the appstore. They were very happy, in the first 2 weeks they sold 811 units, and everything was great.

But one day, the great iphone app hacker came , cracked their app and make it available for the entire world for free. They couldnt belive that such a curse falled upon their “baby” and they decided to find out who this cracker is and to contact him. Check the convo below ( i got storry teller skillz huh? )

Hey

I’m the developer for Whack ‘em All I noticed you’re being given credit for cracking Whack ‘em All and making it generally available for free.

We (just my wife and I) haven’t even made enough money off of this to pay for the iPhone we had to buy to develop it on Just yesterday 40 times more people got your version of the app than bought it off the app store!

I’ve asked some of the sites if they would be willing to take your version of the app offline so that we can make enough money on the app to cover our costs.

I’m curious though why you’re doing this? Would it help if our game were free and we had banner ads?

Thanks!

James

If you are in San Francisco for the MacWorld event, make sure you check out  Nobuyuki Hayashi, a Japanese Mac and iPhone tech journalist and blogger. Nabuyuki  is hosting an event called “Japan iPhone Apps: State of the Market” , which will be held on Wednesday, Jan 7th. If you can’t make the event, here’s a sneak preview of the apps being featured.

” With only one day left on the 2008 calendar Softbank finally released the highly anticipated 1-Seg TV tuner and battery for the Apple iPhone. Say what you will about the iPhone’s steep challenge in Japan, but Softbank has come through with one of the best Apple accessories ever to hit the market. The device looks almost exactly like the iPhone itself but feels incredibly lightweight thus allowing the add-on to fit perfectly into the high-bar aesthetic tastes of most Apple fans. ” [ read the full article here ]

What do you think about this? First of all what do you think about iFart? Did you know that earlier last year, Apple had banned a similar fart joke app called something like “pull my finger” because “it lacked taste” and now this really worthless piece of shit app made more than US$30,000! WTF?!?!?
I really wanna see what do you think about this?

Apple’s New Patent Application demonstrates how the iPhone’s keyboard will get finger swipe commands! According to the patent, users will be able to carry out four actions by swiping their fingers up, down, left or right. Swipe your finger up for Shift, down for Enter, Left for backspace and right for Space. What’s more, using more the one finger would lead to commands like deleting a word or a sentence or activating Caps Lock or even punctuation marks. [ via CellPassion ]
