I just wanted to apologize for the outage yesterday. There was something wrong with the MySQL Database, and the website was unable to connect to it.

Thankfully no data was lost, and everything is OK. I will begin posting more reviews shortly.

I know this isn’t iPhone related but you should still know what’s going on(at least if you live in the US).

First, I would like to thank William aka “SarcasticGamerr”(one of our very own members) for sponsoring this contest. After seeing the recent contest for the iPhone, he was inspired to send in his 2nd cover for an iPod Touch that he recently purchased.

I would like to keep the rules the same as the last contest. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. In that comment you need to include a number(between 1-1000)(that will be your entry into the contest) The contest ends next Friday(at midnight) and at that time I will be picking a random number. The person who comes closest to the random number, without going over, wins the contest and the BodyGuardz cover.

Thanks again William!

I have been kicking around a few ideas for new iPhone websites and I think I have a couple of good ideas. The bad part is I simply don’t have enough time in the day to keep up with my current load of tasks. . .none-the-less new ones. I know there has to be a few ‘iPhone Addicts’ out there that would like to help pump out some iPhone related content.

I’m not sure exactly how many people I would like to bring on. I think 4 will be plenty, but 2-3 would probably be better(then each one would more of the ad revenue). The downfall is that revenue via ads probably won’t be much until the website takes off. The upside is that you will get an equal share of the ad revenue(split equally with everyone that contributes).

Does this sound interesting? Now it’s your job to convince me to pick you. Send an email to ‘contact@installerapps.com’ and include your experience with the iPhone/iPod Touch. . .how much time you can put toward the project. . .and anything else you think will help convince me to pick you.

Congratulations Jeditone! The winning # is 995 and you were the closest without going over(Price is Right rules).

Thanks for everyone that participated, I’m sorry that I couldn’t give away more. Be sure to check the video below to watch me draw the winner(screenshot included).


What an overwhelming response there was to the recent contest for the BodyGuardz cover. I have collected all of the entries and made the official list(sorry to those that didn’t make it in time. . .and sorry to the 1 or 2 of you that pick a # that was already said in a comment before you).

I hope to stream live(as I draw the winner) using the Qik application for the iPhone. . .and hope do this at midnight(EST) tonight. I invite anyone that is in another time zone or wants to stay up that late while I draw the winner. I did say ‘hope’. . .I will not continue with the stream unless the quality is good enough. So as long as I can get the text to be readable during the stream them we’ll be good to go.

What I will do is edit this post and insert the Qik code while I pick the winner. You can also view the drawing by going to my Qik Profile(again, at midnight EST).

Things have been slow lately since most of the developers have jumped ship to develop for the App Store. I mean who can blame them when some developers have made over $250,000 in just a few short months. I have been posting some of the reviews that I do for AppStoreApps.com and I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t making some visitors mad. Maybe some don’t like paying for software(though I don’t see why not). . .even if it’s a fun or handy application/game.

I won’t be posting just these type of reviews here from now on. . .just until things begin to pick back up. . .and you know it will(especially with Apple rejecting so many applications lately).

Do you like the App Store Application Reviews?

Attack of the Show did a segment on iPhone applications and 2 of my videos made it in the segment(1 from here and 1 from AppStoreApps.com).

The video that made it, was the one I did for Pushr(Flickr image uploader)

How freaking sweet is that! Sadly they cut off the URL credit. . .but that’s OK. Though, I did find it funny they showed the credit URL for YouTube’s videos.

Pretty Stars!

So I just finished the upgrade with the website(took about an hour and a half). Everything seems to be working well. . .for now. . .but if you see anything that looks odd please let me know.

For now I have set the categories to Usability, Functionality, and Graphics. At AppStoreApps.com I also use Price, but it’s rare for developers to charge for apps in Installer or Cydia.

I have received a suggestion for Stability, which I have been thinking about adding. Then again, it’s rare for an application to get distributed and then it crash all the time.

Let me know what you think of the changes and/or if you have any thoughts on the categories used(or should be using)
