Every iPhone / iPod touch game developer should budget for one or two Easter eggs. Even if it is something simple like a secret trophy, the blog postings you get about it are worth their weight in gold from a Marketing / SEO perspective. Just my opinion.

If only apple would put ratings on applications similar to video games then this set of content issue could go away. Why should apple be the morals police?

Um…ok then. We’ll be sure to “search” for your app. Darnit, no search. Well, sorry about that.

I don’t think Lindsey will be developing any apps anytime soon anyway.

Lindsey, there’s a search bar in the top right corner in iTunes, and the App Store

Okay, foot-in-mouth disease again. I go to the itunes app to be able to browse through iphone apps. Well, that makes a lot of sense, yeah, right… Now i just have to get rid of Quicktime, probably pull down the whole house of cards…

Does anyone know how to browse the app store? I can't believe how difficult and secret Apple has made it for anyone to just look and see what apps are offered for the i-phone. First I found out I had to download I-tunes, then Apple said I had to download Quicktime, which program IMO sucks, now I will have to replace. Then it still won't let me search for apps, or browse, just teases me with a few "best sellers." The app store web site is like a dog chasing its tail. What the hell is wrong with Apple that they don't allow anyone to know what's being offered for their toy? What is this, a secret? Is this a good marketing strategy?

Sorry to vent, I want to develop a unique app, but why waste my time if someone else already did it? And how can I find out how mnay competitors I would have?

I suppose there is a simple answer to this, I would appreciate it if someone can help me. Thanks!

Doesn't the Touch OS have a kill switch for just this sort of thing? They can remove it from the App. Store and kill it on any phone that has it installed.

I don't think Jobs is losing sleep over this.

Ha that’s funny. I promised myself if I ever made an iPhone app, I would include an Easter egg that either recorded video or enabled flash, (possibly in an Easter egg web browser).
