$166.64

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

I wondered today, just how much money I’ve spent in the App store since I bought my original iPhone, and it turns out to be (to me) a surprisingly low number, less than $200! I’ve surely spent many times that amount on software for my desktop computers, it definitely helps that so many Apps are [...]

Movies in flight
