AT&T afraid of iPhone 3G users: offers free WiFi

Having no bandwidth cap for iPhone users has proved to be a problem for AT&T, which has been faced with  loads of expenses in keeping up their 3G network. In a smart move, AT&T has brought back to life its old partnership with Starbucks cafes across the country, allowing any member of the cellular network [...]

NDA PARTY!!!

“To our developers

We have decided to drop the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for released iPhone software.
We put the NDA in place because the iPhone OS includes many Apple inventions and innovations that we would like to protect, so that others don’t steal our work. It has happened before. While we have filed for hundreds of patents [...]

Interesting App: Heart Monitor

I’ve been worried lately that we here at AppStoreFans were going to go out of business. The only apps coming out for the past few weeks have been car games, puzzle games, poker games, and flashlights. Luckily, a cool new app came out today called Heart Monitor.

Apple shuts up the slammers

After taking three months to realize that 90% of the people rating apps on iTunes never even bought them, Apple has finally restricted Customer Reviews to only those that actually bought the application.

Now, with the inclusion of [...]

App Store’s Folly

With the recent blacklists of Podcaster and other App Store apps, one wonders what happens to the developer. As apps cannot be developed in a day, app programmers lose valuble time and resources in building apps that get pulled from the store. I see several glaring mistakes here. Would you, for example, attempt to develop [...]

Star Wars is now on the iPhone

THQ, which not too long ago had the great PhoneSaber app pulled off of the App Store, has now ported an entire Star Wars game onto the iPhone and iPod Touch. The game is called “Star Wars: Forced Unleashed”, and was released this past Monday, September 15. Here is the game’s official description:

Countdown to one Billion

It took Apple two years after releasing the first iPod to sell one billion songs. Apple could do just that with its App Store within half the time. With 12 million iPhones and millions more iPod Touches now in the hands of people around the world, the App Store is seeing some great success. iPhone [...]
