TUAW's Daily App: PSN Go

Unfortunately, unlike most of the other "account browser" apps that we've seen, this one is priced a little higher than free -- it's US $1.99. While that's still not a lot, it is quite a bit to pay for just the opportunity to browse friends' lists when away from your console. Still, the app has a full in-app game database, and it's pretty well polished and runs great. Plus, it's getting updated; it's all set for the iPhone 4's Retina Display, and it's seen a few UI improvements and bug fixes already. If you find yourself browsing your PSN account quite a bit (especially when not at home), it's probably worth the couple bucks.

I'm patiently waiting for Raptr to update their app to include the PSN like they do on they computer counterpart.

Sony has explicitly stated they will not allow 3rd parties access to the PSN Network SDK, so how does he get it? I'm thinking its pulled from the Playstation website, which I bet Sony isn't going to like.

Unfortunately, because MS does not allow you to charge for an app...the Xbox live app the same guy makes is no longer on the appstore. It is very disappointing to say the least. I was really looking forward to the updates in the PSN app making their way to the Xbox app.
