People care about the iPhone and the apps that run on it and so journalists cover it. Then, Apple takes a 30% cut of everything I make? I'm thinking, "Didn't I already pay you guys?" Then I'd have to pay $100 to join the club. First, I don't own a Mac, so I'd have to buy one. Not only do I have to hope that one day the eyes of the almighty Apple will gaze upon me and say, "Yes, he is worthy to be one of us!", but I also have to pay through the nose for the privilege. Second, I express frustration at how many hoops I must jump through to get my app on the iPhone. "Oh look, when you rotate the phone, the app goes landscape! 5 stars!" They've been doing this same thing to Web 2.0 apps for a couple of years now.Īsk yourself this: when was the last time you've seen an independently-developed Windows app - ANY app - that gets as much press as one of these iPhone apps do? Or as much as Web 2.0 sites? The iPhone is now the Flavor of the Month, and any app, no matter what it does, gets lavished praises upon it. First, the press, for massively over-hyping iPhone apps. Now, let me just say, I don't have any problem with SplashShopper or its developers.

Its ironic that this app (and many others like it) gets free advertising, and I get chastised for even posting a simple link.

Posting a link buried in some comment on a day-old newspost isn't much of a way to advertise. Oh yeah.and don't advertise in the discussion forums, please. They've been delivering a simple but usable mobile product for many moons.
