  • Quickfire Review: AppFigures.com

    in ,

    As mentioned a few posts ago, Apple’s iTunes sales reporting tools are a joke.

    In walks AppFigures.com. This site provides exactly the type of data I would expect Apple to provide. It automagically grabs your iTunes sales reports every day, then uses the data to generate Google analytics style charts and graphs.  Before using this site I only had a vague idea of how many apps I’d sold.

    If you’re an iPhone developer I highly recommend you drop everything and start using this app.

  • iPhone and Rogers, Round 2

    in

    One year after Rogers nearly botched their Canadian iPhone launch with ridiculous data plans and extra fees, it looks like Rogers might have learned their lesson.

    According to Rogers PR, they will support MMS and tethering with the intention of making the service availble with the June 19th launch. That means these features will not work with current pre-release installs of 3.0. Rogers would neither confirm nor deny whether MMS/tethering would require a more expensive pricing plan.

    Also, Rogers will be bringing back their limited time 6GB@$30/mo plan. So if you’re finding yourself using most of your 3G data, you’ll have a chance to upgrade.

  • Last.fm, is this a joke?

    in ,

    I just recieved the following email from last.fm:

    subject: Your free trial to Last.fm Radio is over. Did you enjoy it?

    Hi 200iso,

    radio.

    Best Regards,

    What a backhanded way to introduce a paid service. Apparently the last 5 YEARS I’ve been using last.fm have been nothing more than a free trial.

    Very weird marketting choice.
