Re: louisgray.com: The iPhone App Store Should Let You Try Before You Buy

Corvida — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:13:14 -0000

Join the lot of us that want the same but don't see it happening anytime soon. This is one of the reasons why I've jailbroken my iPhone. I try out the *cracked* version and if I like it, I go ahead and buy it from the iTunes store. If not, well I've just saved myself some money and can uninstall the app without a hitch.

It was just the first thing that popped into my head. Plus, it's easier to explain and doesn't require anyone to download anything. Supports all browsers too. Otherwise, I might've gone with Skype.

Do you think that's better or is it a lie if you already know that this is the plan?

Ditto.

I don't even want to call them separate webapps because they're being treated more like the webpages that they are instead of web applications. They didn't add anything new except better loading times and more space. Big deal if you can't capitalize on any of it.

If you're going to treat the tabs as separate applications then they need to act like separate applications simultaneously. The connection must be made if you're going with that analogy. If you're not going to seriously treat them like separate applications then I don't see the point in bothering with a fancy UI, yet half-baked browser, beta or not. Google needs to back-up what they're trying to prove.

For now, they're just playing around and I wish they wouldn't.

What university was that?! Sounds like a ton of fun.

I haven't had any problems with Ubiquity's email feature. In fact, I just used it.

It's half-baked.

Great list!

This is crazy! Wow and all of this back in 1993. I see why it didn't really take off.

Great post Steven. I mentioned on Twitter today that even the name of Ubiquity was geeky and called for a simpler name that mainstream users could understand or at least want to understand. This makes me wonder yet again why such services don't cater to the mainstream audience, therefore eliminating them from the minds of early adopters...

No problem. Glad I could help out.

Great post! I completely understand where you're coming from. To be honest with you, I don't think you're missing a thing by not signing up for all of these services. I completely ignored Rejaw, but I've been on Strands since June when I met one of the employees at a party and he showed me what it could do. I like Strands.

To miss a service is to be at peace with the tools you already have. That's what I'm going by now.

Google would be better off to stop aggregating those particular MBL results. They're annoying to see only because I get excited for no reason but at least I know it's aggregating my google reader shared items. Wouldn't that help the articles that I'm sharing when it comes to SEO?

I did once when I first got my iPhone. The hold time was over 30 mins. Googled my problem and got it resolved in 3 mins.

From someone of Apple's stature, you'd expect better.

It's a nice investment for my field of work. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered.

This isn't the reason I've sworn off Apple. Their customer service is the reason why. And yes I do rely on other's experience with a product as do you. If everyone is screaming that a particular product sucks aren't you less interested in buying it?

I've heard nothing but the worst about Apple's customer service and I tend to have to talk with CS a lot. So, if your CS sucks, I really don't want to bother with your company.

Facebook/Myspace we major hits within their first two years of coming out with mainstream. At 20 months Myspace had already gained 14 million unique visitors a month.

Well I'm happy to hear that you'll still be getting an iPhone. I think a lot of people have researched getting the iPod Touch instead, but I don't have constant wifi access and the iPhone has been a lifesaver because of that. I think the iPhone is a much better choice in the end, especially if you're a traveler.

There's nothing gender bias about my site. I'm a female that's also a geek, hence the name She-Geeks. It's not an gender bias, it's a representation of the author (me). And what does the American way have to do with anything?

lol I totally understand.

However, think what if everyone had caught on? Then you'd be bombarded and overloaded with information, questions, and responses from every direction. How would you feel about that?
