Blackberry app world
Carrying on from my wish list about the Blackberry App World I have a case in point... The shutter "noise" on the camera of my beloved Blackberry Curve 8310 is very annoying. I'd much prefer to snap at will without that howitzer of a "KLIK" going off. A mate pointed to be a app which does the trick. Great. Problem solved! But no... http://bit.ly/Ps2DW Sadly you have to pay for the app. Am I one of those loons who thinks that just because it is software it HAS to be free? No, not at all - people should be paid for their efforts, I've got no issue with that. It's just my skin crawls at the complete and utter pain of buying something via a mobile device... When I saw that I had to pay a measly $3.95 for the app I groaned inwardly. Not at the cost but at the hassle. You just KNOW the 15 web forms comprising the shoddy purchase path on the crappy BB browser will be pretty unbearable. ...compare that to simply deducting "credits" from my AppWorld account (which would essentially act as a billing wrapper); a seamless and painless one click purchase path. Job done. Heck I'd even pay $10 dollars for the app! or, even more interestingly, I'd be happy to pay $1 a month - but they were only asking $3.95 and I wasn't prepared to pay it. Funny how numbers work eh? ...I want to easily spend money via my BB. Anyone hearing me?!
