I say nothing about installer and jailbreak. It is good that these things exists. I also have a jailbroken iPhone. But I can’t understand the people who say that a few bucks are too much for an application.

if you want the applications which are not available in AppStore but in Installer, you need to stay on 1.1.4 right now. It will take time until the developers adopted their apps so they run on 2.0

Negative app store comments on former Installer apps (”Used to be free…1/5 stars) have sent a message to developers that they are being punished for having released an app to the JB community. So I seriously doubt this will happen.

Yes well that is all well and good, but what about the applications that are available in installer and not in AppStore? How do we get those!

That’s one of the few I’m waiting for, as well. Plus, I just plain like iZoo better than Popcap’s Bejeweled…

Hey, what are a few bucks for an application where a developer spend hundreds of hours developing it? Lets make a calculation:

An app sold for $9.99 =>

Apple gets 30% then there is $6.99 left

Then pay 30% taxes to the us tax office => $4,89 left

So, when It took about 500 hours to develop and we calculate $20/hour which is nothing for a programmer then the developer spend $10000 to develop the program.

That means, the developer have to sell 2044 copys to get the costs of his work back.

This is maybe possible on popular apps like games. But there are lots of special apps where it is not possible to sell so much.

Think about this before to about the prices!

And for those who think that a 2.0 Jailbreak brings all the old “free” Applications back, I just can say: This is a dream. Developers who are developing for AppStore will not adopt their apps for 2.0 jailbreak and the old 1.1.4 jailbreak apps will not work on 2.0. So you have two choices:

1. Stay on 1.1.4 and use old apps
2. Update to 2.0 and use new apps and pay for the hard work of the developers.

Thanks,
an iPhone developer

tarek mansour must be the developer of the other voice recording applications on App store that got C+D letter from erica.

I’m sure there are ways of accessing code besides when someone publishes it.
