App Store: Apps Available for Download on iTunes

[anim8or]

The UK store is up and available to search through... just type 'aol' in the search field!

 

[swinneyn]

It's c'mon.

Wow, I have reached a new low. C'MON!!

 

[blorenz]

seems like alot of stupid apps.......where's a word processor?

 

[maehara]

Oh, heh, of course I'm looking at the US store... wonder why the $20 difference, surely that isn't a tariff of some sort, or do businesses really think they can get away with breaking and entering in Australia?

Oh and a Currency Conversion only brings $69.99 to ~$72.89 Australian dollars... so the difference between currency isn't large enough for that kind of gap.

Plus GST (Aussie sales tax) at 10%, surely? So US$69.99 = AU$72.89, plus AU$7.29 GST = AU$80.18. If they're only charging AU$79.99, then the before-tax price is lower than the US.

It's called Google Docs.

Besides, it's Day 1, I'm sure there's plenty more to come.
And who said the Pandora app was stupid?! I don't think so!

 

[razorianfly]

So this is why Apple held off on allowing 'mount as drive'

Looks pretty slick. Good price too.

I don't know about word processor, but there is a spreadsheet app. However, I can't seem to find it in the Store.

 

[slippery-pete]

Just downloaded many free apps as well as Monkey Ball and MLB....just waiting for 2.0!

 

[sebastianlewis]

Exactly what i have been complaining about for a long time now. How can you charge tariff on software you download. If it was physical and you owned it i understand but cmon...

I dunno, you're going to have to ask the Australian Government on that one, if it is a tariff and not just plain old thievery.

[carve]

Where's the Macrumors app?!

 

[Petoz]

i found PhoneSaber in the entertainment section. i am sure some have found it, but i saw someone looking for it earlier. So i just thought i'd let you know it is there, for free.

 

[cecemf]

Looks like apples server has gone bust, i cant access itunes to download and i cant even publish using iweb!

Normal .mac is down since few hours now.

 

[maehara]

Yes 10% Gst but still.. cmon not good at all...

Hardly the fault of Apple or the developers, though - surely you don't expect them to pay the tax for you?

Heh, I forgot to factor in taxes.

[bkea]

With the AOL radio App wouldn't it only be available in the US because of copy protection laws?

 

[Ludde]

It's amazing how some apps aren't available everywhere even though they're FREE! The iTunes store really needs to go global. It simply isn't user friendly at all to shut people out from content just 'cause they happen to be in a certain country or force them to have separate accounts for every country they wish to shop in.

Btw...pricing FAIL!

 

[dalcorn1]

"birth buddy" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

i can see anyone who pulls out their iPhone to monitor contractions being punched in the face

can someone tell me how to get the link from the app store to paste on here?

 

[Hardingster]

Does anyone know how big these apps are? How much disc space is going to be taken by them if loaded onto the phone?

 

[swinneyn]

I shouldn't have to pay for something that should've been included in the first place.

It's called Google Docs.

Besides, it's Day 1, I'm sure there's plenty more to come.
And who said the Pandora app was stupid?! I don't think so!

I heard about Pandora for iPhone, but I can't find it on the App Store, can anyone help me out?

 

[Slap Dash]

I dunno, you're going to have to ask the Australian Government on that one, if it is a tariff and not just plain old thievery.

Sebastian

Already have and they adv that its up to developers and their is no law against it. Oh well ill just buy US itunes card

 

[ziggyonice]

Most of them seem little more that 500K! Although some of the bigger items (games mainly) are larger. Super Monkey Ball is about 35MB.

 

[thePhilster]

I am definitely using my US account and not my UK one. It will probably be $9.99 = £9.99.

Actually, from what I've seen, the pricing actually seems to be pretty much fair given the current exchange rate, so no real needs to use the US account...

 

[hdasmith]

Has anyone seen if a salling clicker app is on the store... that's the one I'm really waiting for.

Crash Bandicoot isn't available in the UK... really disappointed by that one... I wonder why that is?!

 

[captain kaos]

Oh wicked. Here's another great chance for Apple to do its usual $-£-Euro pricing joke.
