There's no rage in me. I'm looking forward to Apple's 12 Days of Christmas, where they give away an App or a Video or a Book every day, that's right, give away, not make you pay.

You know exactly what I mean by tariff rape lol
Im sure in your case you got a good deal, but most standard iPhone tariffs offer 1/3 of what a similarly priced tariff with another handset would.

What are you getting for your £20?

there isn't that much difference between free and 10p is there? And I'd rather have a choice of 10p apps than no choice of free ones

Actually it was thanks to O2 cocking up. I renewed on my existing £45 p/m contract and they put me on a 30 day rolling contract by mistake and said I could upgrade again or go for a simplicity tariff on their upgrade section on website.

I get my 4S next week my 12 month Plan is due.

There's a big difference, one requires a method of payment.

I am serious, Google want you spending, and you're not. Offer a 10p 'gift' and the accountant's happy again.

Android users all seem a bit tight, phone for 'free', free this, free that, open your wallets and Android apps may get better. Like iOS even.

Oh I didnt realise all apps were 10p....... aaah hold on, they're not.
Im enjoying the cheap ones and will buy anything else worth while, just like with my Blackberry, and as im sure you do too.

Im sure with 10billion downloads, not all of them were free or ten pence

Compare the revenue generated by the App Store at 10 Billion to the Android Marketplace and you'll understand why one is a Store and the other is a market. A market like Finmere on a Sunday, full of stolen goods and knock offs with an occasional diamond if you dig deep enough.
