“Top 10 iPhone Apps” - not exactly what it looks to be.

Posted By Lincoln on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 under General, iPhone Applications, iPhone Modding |

When you Google “iPhone apps”, this website comes up as the top hit. When you view, the page, you see an offer that reminds you of MacHeist; a bundle of the “top 10 iPhone apps”, that all go for a price of $24.95, which the website calls “a steal”

However, there are quite a few interesting things about it, if you look deeper. First of all, you are required to jailbreak your iPhone to use these application, and the website does not state this on the home page or state that you cannot install the apps with the consent of Apple. Also, in order to jailbreak the iPhone, the website sells ZiPhone, a freeware jailbreaking app. Also, there are two interesting apps in the bundle; a screenshot app and a VNC app. Taking screenshots is supported in the 2.0 firmware, and there is a free VNC app in the AppStore. Hmmm.

The website also contains a lot of improper grammar, and the link to the “Live Chat” does not work. There have been customers of the website that have lost their money and not received the bundle. I advise you not to buy these applications and to avoid the website.

    Furthermore, all of the apps appear to be freeware apps commonly available via Installer. Not nice!
