by Cory Bohon Sep 24th 2008 at 11:00AM

Now that iPhone developers have started "cashing in," they have also started giving future customers a break on their popular applications. This week, there are many good deals on the App Store. Now comes the hard part: picking which ones you want to purchase.
Do you plan to buy any of these apps? Which applications would you like to see on sale in the future? Be sure to let everyone know in the comments!

I wish Voice Dialer weren't $10.

I wish the Apps over $1 had a trial version.

Good eye Cory.

Trism for 2.99 is a good pickup if you don't already have it.

you missed the best deal of all!

In celebration of hitting 1 million downloads, Solebon Solitaire (30 games in one app) has a sale on their app through Oct 7th for just .99. It was 9.99 before!

I had their free Lite app with just 3 games before, and loved it. But to get 27 more games for a buck is awesome, and I think the $9 discount is the biggest one I've seen yet.

Go snatch it up before Oct 7th!

All the whining (especially in user reviews at the iTunes App Store) about the high price of iPhone apps is a very curious phenomenon. Most people will spend five bucks at the drop of a hat when they're out and about---for a coffee and pastry at Starbucks, or whatever. But how they scream when an iPhone app they fancy costs $5 instead of $2. So here's my message to all the slackers out there who think iPhone apps are too expensive: Buy or do not buy. Just STFU!

Good god, thank you alansky! It's pretty comical how people can scrape money together to buy an iPhone, and then whine about paying another $2 for an app that's no longer on sale! Kind of pathetic actually..

not everyone is flush and thoughtless with cash; those who can't control themselves at a coffee shop are probably spending a lot on iPhone apps, but others of us are trying to make the value proposition work -- an iPhone plus a contract is a borderline value for me to begin with; a package of apps is necessary to make it worthwhile, and a dollar more or a dollar less per app will add up

that said, time spent shopping for deals can have an opportunity cost as well

I bought all 3 music apps. I missed 'em from my jailbroken era, and they were too pricey before for me to justify. This "Deals of the Week" y'all are doing is awesome!

I paid full price for Trism last week...no regrets. It's a great game that has filled the void left by not having Lights Off on my phone since upgrading to 2.1 firmware.
