Is any app worth $999.99?

In an app store where 4.99 seems too much and 9.99 better some with some extras; an app for the price of $1K is just crazy right? I would say no. I'm not talking about the "I am rich" app. This new one is called ivip black. http://short.to/yfim

The app is basically an address book for high end events and places. It does a good job but any person that has some form of high end income will have a consigliore or at least P. Diddy on speed dial to help them book events. This is app an example of why the app store is getting saturated. Good apps are too hard to find.

New Site on the Block: http://causefx.net/forums

CauseFX

Get used to that because I am sure it will become a house hold name in a matter of months in the same likes that appulos.us and geohot are. This is more than a forum or website this is a 600 plus community of well informed and creative jailbreakers.

Although the site is fairly new the creator of the site has been on the scene for quite a while and has only now decided to step from behind the curtain so to speak to stand tall in the lime light. Only time will tell if this good or a great move. So far this site seems to be on a fast reliable server. Don't ask about ipa's or apps. That is not what this site is about or is it? I would not tell you if it was because piracy is not a thing that should be glorified. Thus I will say this; CauseFX a community that prides it's self on being a place where any and all information on the jailbreaking scene can be found. Look for it to do great things and look for more post as it grows.

Games: Big Business

Games use to be something kids did but most people in the 30's play games because that age group grew up with Nintendo, Sega and Sony. Now games have grown with the age group while picking up younger children. Now that games are on the radar of huge companies expect to see more and more blockbusters. The only thing though there is still a stigmatism with games. Which is what is keeping from having a blockbuster every year just like people look to the summer for movies. There is no feeling like that with games.

Randomly there is a Halo, Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto other than those three games; no others have come up regally. With better games and record breakers like this year's Call of Duty it may spur on a trend. Call of Duty broke every entertainment record for a single day period. That includes movies, games and music.

HTC Eris vs. Motorola Droid

Have you developed an opinion on the droid or droid Eris yet? That was the question I just got asked on twitter by makegood. This is the 100 time I have been asked about the two phones since I got my hands on them a month ago. After using both for a while now. I will go into detail with full review. As always you can just go to the bottom-line and read my one sentence opinion if you don't want to read how I came to that thought.

Motorola Droid:

The Droid is a big at 4.56 by 2.36 by .54 inches and 5.96 ounces. A 5-megapixel camera. It has a very nice 3.7-inch, 854-by-480 LCD capacitive touch screen. Below the huge screen are four light-up, touch-sensitive buttons. There is also the pointless lip with the microphone on it. I got amazing 6 hours, 2 minutes of talk time. Repeat talk time. That means everything else was turned off. No Wi-Fi, no data using widgets. I got 5 hours and 20 minutes of normal use. If you are a power user you will get 3 hours and 50 minutes before your battery bar goes to 2. Yes that does suck and is the only flaw in a great phone. Droid is the fastest Android phone in the market. This is the first Android phone with an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the same Cortex-A8 that powers the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre. [Side bar: So why no multi running apps apple?] The big screen is the best I have seen on a phone. Just like the iPhone, the Droid's screen rotates when you turn it. But unlike the iPhone web pages load up very fast thanks to Verizon's great network. Too be fair though Droid does not do Flash. The QWERTY keys are a little too flat and small. They seemed like an afterthought of function rather than design. The Droid is not the greatest voice phone but quality was still acceptable. The Droid runs Android 2.0 but it should be called Google 2.0. That means to get the best use of the phone you must have a Google account. The phone does a good job of walking you though the setup. Google & Verizon relies on the tech-savvy customers to turn the Droid their own phone. Out of the box will be a learning curve but it is worth the time.

HTC Eris:

The Droid Eris a clone of the HTC Hero. Nothing that really separates it from the pack except the name and the company it is now on. While both the Eris and Hero have a 3.2-inch, 480-by-320 pixel screen, the Droid Eris supports 262,000 colors while the myTouch 3G has just 65,000 colors. The phone is slow when you stand it up next to the Droid it is like comparing a NES to a Wii. Years behind the competition. The Droid Eris has a 528MHz Qualcomm MSM 7600 CPU running Android 1.5. The Eris has a 5.0-megapixel camera that lacks a flash, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0; includes a GPS receiver; and supports the 800MHz and 1900MHz bands on the Verizon Wireless network. It also has a standard headset jack, something the myTouch does not.
The Bottom Line:

Get a Motorola Droid if you are in the market for a new toy and avoid the Eris at all cost but if you are business person and love your Blackberry just wait for the BlackBerry Curve2. I'm not a Blackberry person but even I want one. I know it was not real VS. That would be unfair fight. Droid would win hands down with a knockout.

The next best thing: Ipod with keys

I just saw and iPod with a keyboard. No I was not dreaming. It was a fake but it still got me excited to wonder about the possibilities. I also wonder why no one has come up with an add on for it. I would be very helpful. For I know as much as you love your iPod. You can't stand the touch screen keys.
