Cydia Appstore - Open for Business

Truth!??!! You can’t handle the truth!!! Actually the truth is that the cydia appstore is officially open for business.And the first paid package is “Cyntact”. First of all , you will be displayed with a pop-up window to upgrade Cydia. The upgrade is a 600k download, so you should be good on your data plan, if you’re not on wi-fi.

The Good

Despite all of your opinions (which you know i respect, but i got my own, and sometimes it’s a lil bit though to shake me) , i salute Saurik’s appstore idea. Because it will compete with the apple appstore. I dont know about you, but im getting tired of that bull shit app store, where you need to pass a ridiculous TOS in order for your app to be available to the public. To be honest the iPhone app market begins to be ( now more than ever ) a gold mine in the eyes of every developer out there. So , more and more apps are pure BS. Hey i got an app that farts buy it man, its only 99 cents. Dude, i can fart for you… FOR FREE.

Second of all, paid apps where available through cydia anyway. There’s nothing changed. Its not like OMG OMG , Cydia has apps that i need to pay for , now ! WTF?!?!?! I shall rise my fist to the sky and scream from the bottom of my lungs in some forgotten language “Damnn you Saurik” . Really… dudes…. get serious.

Third of all, Cydia represent maybe 90%+ of the reason we JB our devices. If those apps (the ones that you need to pay for ) were not in Cydia, the chances are they would be in the Apple’s appstore. So you would need to pay for them anyway. What’s the difference?!?!?! So stop whining. If you whining about this, chances are you’re a leech, and you wouldnt buy the app, not even your iPhone’s life would depend on it.

Anyway… let’s continue… In order to buy an app , you must authenticate yourself. You can do this in two ways. Either through Facebook Connect, or Google.Facebook Connect is a bitch to setup,and Facebook makes it hard as hell to use thier tools, but im glad Saurik did it. It’s a nice feature.

Also , i really like that the the dev(s) of the app(s) take some time to write a fully description of the app and other information that you might use.That’s another plus for the Cydia appstore.
