We’ve all heard about the new 3G iPhone coming out July 11 ONLY costing a whooping $199 are you out of your mind. Lots of people are stoked that the price dropped pretty low…even cheaper than an iPod Touch. People don’t realize the catch the iPhone has brought amongst the eager people that wait in line to get the 3G iPhone the first day it releases. Well, the iPhone is MUCH cheaper than the original one, but the plan for the phone went up. So…in the long run you’re actually paying about $40-$50 more than you would original pay with the old iPhone and the old rate plan. People probably wouldn’t mind coughing up that $40-$50 because you do get a faster phone. Since the iPhone dropped lower than the iPod Touch, do you think the iPod Touch price will go down also?!? I would imagine that the iPhone should be more expensive than the iPod Touch. What are your thoughts about this? Also, if you do have an older iPod Touch and you do actually update to get the App Store…why do iPod Touch owners have to pay $10 for the App Store?!? When you pay $10 for the App Store, you still have to pay for the apps you want…so…why don’t they just give the App Store for FREE?!? Just a few thoughts about that.
A couple of apps now are charging to have their programs on your device. I had the game Pool on my iPod touch and there was an update in Installer. I thought the update would fix any bugs or add new options or something. In reality, the update just changed one option…the option that you have to purchase a license to play the game. There is a trial button, but I was a bit disappointed that apps now are charging to use their programs. I can’t really complain or anything because these developers DO put A LOT of time into their work. I was just wondering that if I’m paying to have these games or apps through a jailbreak, shouldn’t we just get the App Store and pay for it and have these apps legally?!? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not telling developers to stop charging because they do deserve a little reward for all they do, but I would rather donate a little something instead.
Just wanted to see people’s opinions on these few things that I wrote about. Also a reminder, Lone Stag stated DO NOT UPDATE ANYTHING..FIRMWARE…ITUNES…NOTHING!!! You can do all that if you want to lose your jailbreak, but for now…keep it old school. Someone will EVENTUALLY jailbreak the firmware…someone always does! Hope all goes well!
