The graph looks like it's about to turn back on itself.

Sweet, $.10 apps! Maybe there should be a separate thread for this?
Delicious.
I feel like I should just buy all the apps, even if they're not compatible with my Nexus One, so that when I get my Galaxy Nexus next month they'll work perfectly. Good idea yeah?
I love the ICS keyboard too. Swiftkey X is really nice too. The neon theme really matches the ICS color scheme. That said, I still really like Swype cause it allows me to type fairly quickly with just a thumb.

Can't see how you can go wrong, unless it's an app you have no interest in. It'll be 10 dollars for 100 apps and they are very good quality ones too.Delicious.

Unless they're apps you would never use to begin with, hell yeah that's a good idea. I'm doing the same with my Evo4G.

Asphalt 6 is the only one I'm unable to grab with an Evo4G. No worries here.

I am typing on a software keyboard I paid 10c for and it is pretty sweet.
PS Any one having issues with making purchases, all mine are installed but the purchase didn't go through correctly.
I bought 2 apps through the Market website and although it said error on purchase on the site for one, it still installed. It later corrected itself, though. Check to see if you get the email confirming the purchase.
Same here, but I figured that it'd be nice to have them all consolidated under one ecosystem. For 10 pennies, why not?
since they basically put that app out of business with ICS they need to get more sales

Wait what. Google sherlocked read it later in ICS?
I think he's talking about swiftkey.
You can save pages for offline reading in ICS. It doesn't reformat them or anything like read it later.
yeah, its not as great as read it later, for 10 cents definitely worth it to have, but it cuts the legs on it a bit

I use Pulse for my Read It Later alternative. It's pretty damn good, and free.
oh cool. I completely glossed over the promo image. good to see fruit ninja and tetris there as well.

I think we need a separate thread for this sale, would give more people the heads up
Yup. Almost missed it.
Has there been any word on an official Instapaper android app, or does the dev still hate android?
:| interesting. I'm surprised that there aren't patches like can be found on all other platforms. Can you share a couple links to what's available?
It's usually really small visual stuff, but some guys go deeper, this guy basically reverted a function they took away from third parties from gmail(notification counter).

Oh well, 10 days of holding off Android purchases starts here!

I just got an Android phone a little over a month ago..
How do you manage paid apps/accounts? With iOS, you have an account with iTunes and that's your portal. It doesn't seem to have anything like this.
It's kind of annoying, because it switches google accounts when I check my email on different accounts. Then, if I download an app, it goes under whichever account I happened to last check my mail on.. so I have all my apps split between 3 different accounts.
Is there a way to change or fix this, or should I just not check several email accounts on my phone?
Galaxy S2, if anyone needs to know.

Marco still loathes Android but he does have a Kindle Fire for testing, so I'm hoping Amazon has made Android inoffensive enough for him to write a client.

Whats the best android phone on the market right now for verizon? Simple question, hoping for a simple answer
.

lol yeah right

Right this moment? The Razr or the Rezound depending on what you're looking for. Wait until this Friday and it will be the Galaxy Nexus.
Just get that.

Kay awesome. Should I just preorder it to be safe or should it not be a big deal to waltz in there on friday?
Funny thing you ask that, lol. It's pretty much going to seem like the phone doesn't exist come Friday because it seems that the Razr is getting all the love due to some probable short term agreement where no other phone other than Rezound is allowed to be mentioned. I think the general consensus is that you'll be able to preorder starting thursday?

Yeah..controls would be an issue on devices without buttons. Unless they really optimized the controls for a tablet and make the autotargeting not suck (it was fuck horrible in GTA3-SA).
