iPhone Expenses Tracker App
MyBudge.com - iPhone Budget Application
What it does
Keeping track of a budget has sadly become a common concern for many of us. Those who were never worried about such things now have to do that on a daily basis and try to make ends meet any way they can. If you are one such individual, chances are this new iPhone application will provide some breathing space into your life.
In general terms, this iPhone app stands as an expenses tracker that will let you get your finances in order, or at least make some strides towards achieving that goal. The main advantage of such a tool is that it will enable you to keep track of expenditures the moment they are incurred into.
Future site updates will include a blog where advice on how to best maximize such an app will be featured, and that will certainly be a welcome addition to a site that stands a bit bare right now. Still, it does what it sets out to do in an unobtrusive way, and it will let you put the provided app to the task straightaway.
In their own words
“MyBudge is the easy way to track spending on your iPhone.”
Why it might be a killer
It takes something as versatile as an iPhone and adds a valuable and necessary capability to it.
Fastest Growing Category in Apple's App Store: eBooks
We already know that the iPhone has quickly become one of the most important mobile platforms, and today, O'Reilly's Ben Lorica took a closer look at the developers behind the most successful applications on the iPhone. Currently, the App Store features about 40,000 different apps, and on average, a typical seller or developer will have about 3.42 apps in the store, though these numbers are somewhat skewed by a few highly prolific developers who publish a lot of apps that are relatively easy to create.
Obviously, a game developer won't be able to churn out new applications at the same rate as an eBook publisher. Game developers have, on average, 2.3 apps in the store (looking at data from the last week), while a typical eBook vendor is selling almost 18 apps right now.
Books are also currently the fastest growing category in the App Store (285% in the last three months), mostly because vendors can simply pack different texts into separate applications. Compared to other categories, productivity apps are only growing slowly, though the number of apps in this category still grew 58% over the last 12 weeks.
One-Hit Wonders
Looking only at paid apps, Lorica also found that 6.3% of all sellers have had an application that made it to the App Store's "Top Paid Apps" list, though about 80% of these were one-hit wonders. On average, a top paid app will remain in this list for 13 days.
While the App Store generally gives every developer a chance to showcase their products, for game developers, the picture is a bit less democratic. Here, the top 27 sellers account for 28% of all the apps that appeared in the Top Paid Games list. Puzzle games, by the way, represent 1 in 4 games in the store.

Lack Of FM Radio For Iphone Is Best Known Only To Apple
In fact, the iPhone has many things going for it, but does it have FM radio for iPhone? But for some reason when apple were adding the digital camera, web access to Google maps and all the other cool features, the FM radio was not on the list
Out Of Date
Actually the main reason why there is no FM radio for iPhone is that today, the interest in FM radio is less than in the past. The Internet and TV are dominating the market for eyeballs. This is especially true when you consider the target market Apple is aiming at - young people with disposable income.
After all, it is not the fifties or sixties when radio was central to entertainment and information distribution. Now days the Internet is the first step for most people looking to find out information.
Another possible reason why there is no FM radio for iPhone is that the radio is not a very personable device. It can be a disruptive influence in our lives rather an asset. Of course, if the iPhone had been around when the Sony walkman was invented, chances are that there would certainly have been a radio.
In fact, the Sony walkman had become popular with the public before a radio was added to it. This lack of a radio in the original Walkman can be seen as a reason why manufacturers have not included FM radio for iPhone.
Still, you might wonder if the iPhone can have Internet connectivity, then why is there no FM radio? After all, the iPhone is multi-media should have indeed been included. The answer to this may lie in the fact that there is always iTunes to listen to and thus there is really no need.
However, it is only Apple that can best answer that question. The reasons for omitting this feature would no doubt be due to practicality or maybe lack of need. However, consumers have yet to be informed by Apple regarding and so we can only guess as to the reason why.
