Comment on IPhone app that isn't

Comments

There are plenty of iPhone apps out there that aren't really apps at all, but just content of one kind or another-books, recipes, music. The beauty of the App Store is that content that could never be monetized on the open web now can be, and creators who could never make money from anything other than advertising can now make some money. This is a good thing, people.

Look at this thing, it's beautiful. It has a UI, for Pete's sakes! Beats the hell out of every other find-in-page bookmarklet I've tried in Mobile Safari. They've all been atrocities. 99 cents? I'm buying it.
