    Sorry to keep adding - GIZ: get an edit button for FSM sake!


    Does it have an external antenna connection? That would ROCK. To be able to add a high gain cellular antenna to this thing would really solve the last remaining connectivity problems with EVDO.

    serious bummer about the 5GB cap. Also, I think calling it unlimited pretty much qualifies as false advertising.

    On the other hand, it allows content providers (bands, musicians, purveyors of fine beef and beef by-products) to open up a virtual storefront, and communicate with and sell directly to their fans.


    $3 is a lot for horse armor, though, except in actual battle.

    Good thing I always read the reviews from first jumpers.


    "OMG APP NEEDS $$$ TO UNLOK LVEL SIX!!!11"


    Good to know!

    @Kaiser 'St. Patty's' Machead: Thank you Kaiser, that's the smart way to navigate the AppStore, and I hope more and more people use it that way. The devs follow those comments and reactions as well, and shifty unpleasant tactics like 'horse armor' get the gas face, i.e. they get branded as 'Things the Customer Doesn't Like' and are usually avoided industry-wide after the negative reaction.

    @pixelpushing: I try to do this as well, but a lot of the reviewers are idiots. Look at the public radio app: it has two stars due to morons one-starring it when they can't get top 40 stations.

    @SirNotAppearing: I don't pay as much attention to the star rating as I do the actual review. Some reviews are not helpful at all, but even the dumb complaints can have some useful info.

    I also do not want, but if devs go too hardcore on this route, nobody will download the app.


    The app market will correct itself - I can see a slew of this to start, but when nobody wants to pay for "horse armor", and then they can go get "horse armor" included in another app without having to pay...the users will end up squashing this.


    Nice idea - but only good on paper.

    @Bradley Dobbs: Hopefully they will have a 'complete as purchased' section, right next to their 'free' section so we can easily sort out the apps that contain DLC.
