“Mac App Store: Change country, lose all purchases” $AAPL #UX #FAIL #WTF #NotAllCrazyisgood
I was pretty sure that the address field for the iTunes UX FAIL could be a minor hiccup. Seems I am tied to the US permanently. After changing country from US to Hong Kong, all my apps for the Mac disappears.
“You have not yet purchased any apps.” Are you kidding me?! Since when do people need to repurchase all apps because they have moved?

Men’s best defense against the monthly Her-ricane.
Men no longer need to fear the wrath of menstrual madness. MEDL Mobile is pleased—and very relieved—to introduce Code Red: a simple but powerful menstrual calendar for men to keep track of—and survive—their girlfriend’s/fiancé’s/wife’s monthly cycle.
SIMPLER IS SAFER
What makes Code Red so much more valuable than other period tracking apps is the profound simplicity and ease of use.
All you have to do is set the start day of her most recent cycle, and the app takes care of the rest!
When the tracking starts, Code Red will provide special alert messages for every phase in her cycle. There are five different alerts, and each calendar day comes equipped with a wealth of tips and advice to brave even the most violent of storms.
“Every month, women go through the same ups and downs, but the men in our lives never seem to catch on,” said Lisi Harrison, Co-Creator and Author of New York Times #1 Bestselling series’ The Clique and Alphas.
“Code Red will be a life saver for thousands of guys out there,” said Kevin Harrison, Co-Creator, “Its each guys personal color coded Terror Alert System…”
ALERTS
Smooth Sailing Alert --- Let’s you know when she’s feeling like a team player.
Horny Alert --- Let’s you know when you’re able to score.
PMS Alert --- Let’s you know when to hit the (cold) showers.
Ovulation Alert --- Let’s you know when to sit on the sidelines (unless you’re ready to start a junior league).
Code Red Alert --- Let’s you know that it’s game time and you’re way out of bounds.
FEATURES
Fully automated menstrual calendar
5 special alerts for each phase of her cycle
Dynamic animations for each alert
Helpful suggestions to survive each phase
Links to local vendors for presents, groceries and goods (via Google Maps)
Advanced calendar toggle settings
Code Red is the brainchild of Pro Surfer and Humanitarian Jon Rose, and was facilitated through development by husband & wife team Kevin and Lisi Harrison.
Kevin & Lisi have been together for 180 menstrual cycles. The recurring stress that always followed inspired them to find a way to help alleviate their shared aggravation over the monthly houseguest.
Developed by men and women for the benefit of each other, MEDL Mobile, and it’s partners are excited to present this great app and share the many benefits it will bring.
“It’s good for everyone; It’s a giant step towards world peace.” –Lisi Harrison
We are proud to call Code Red a Shiny MEDL Object.

With the recent news that a major gaming company, Gameloft, is cutting their investment in the Android marketplace because of poor sales, I thought it would be prudent to investigate exactly why the Android marketplace is having such a hard time generating revenue.
www.electronista.com/articles/09/11/20/gameloft.cutting.b...
Before I delve into the subject at hand, I think it best to clarify some distortions that I've seen being repeated ad nauseum over the internet. Whenever I read an Android versus iPhone argument on the internet, the conventional wisdom blurted out by the neckbeards in the comments sections of places like Digg, Gizmodo and Techcrunch always go something like this:
"Of course the iPhone has more apps than Android! The App Store had like a year head start!"
Sometimes this exaggerated period of App Store exclusivity gets extended to a year and a half, and in extreme cases, two years. The truth is, Apple released their SDK in March of 2008, but the App Store itself didn't launch until July, 2008. The Android SDK, on the other hand, was released in November, 2007! The Android Marketplace? October of 2008. I'm not particularly good at math, but that would mean that Apple realistically gave their developers only a 3 month head start. This is pretty pathetic on Google's part when you consider that their developers had a SDK a full four months before iPhone developers.
So why has App development for Android stagnated, when compared to the iPhone? For one thing, the iPhone obviously had more of an installed base than Android, but that fact distorts a bigger problem with the Android market and it is this: Piracy is killing the Android Market.
First let me say that piracy is not a new phenomenon for either the iPhone or Android Marketplace, but the problems for Android are worse by a factor of ten, for five major reasons.
(1) Google makes it easy to pirate apps.
Google offers DRM to Android developers, but it's optional, unlike the Fairplay DRM that Apple requires for apps on the iPhone. And unlike the iPhone, it is unnecessary to jailbreak an Android device in order to install pirated apps.
(2) The Android Market has a lax 24-48 hour return policy.
When the Android Market first debuted, much was made of the fact that you could get a refund for an app, unlike the iPhone's App Store. The reality of the situation is that the return policy actually makes it easier for someone to download an app, copy it and then return it for a full refund.
(3) The Android Market has a poor buying experience.*
While the method for setting up an account on Google Checkout is rather routine, the actual buying experience leaves a lot to be desired. For one thing, there is no way to buy Android apps from Google's web site. As you can see in the pic above, the Android Market on Google's site clearly states:
"For a comprehensive, up-to-date list of the thousands of titles that are available, you will need to view Android Market on a handset."
In other words, transactions must take place on the Android phone itself. Many users are finding it much easier just to download bundles of pirated Android Apps posted on file hosting sites like Megaupload (pictured above) and Rapidshare.
To give you an idea how easy this is to do. It took five seconds of Google searching for me to find a bundle of Android games. The bundle contained 32 games, including a couple of games from Gameloft and one game featured as Android's top paid app. No wonder companies like Gameloft are not making any money! If I didn't have to jailbreak my iPod Touch and could just download a bundle of games in five seconds, maybe I wouldn't want to pay for my apps either. Maybe.
(4) The Open-Source community that Android appeals to, does not like paying for software.
Earlier I outlined exactly why the screams of "the App Store got an earlier release" was a ludicrous argument when you actually compare the SDK development cycles for both platforms, but I wasn't entirely fair. One of the bigger reasons why developers are finding it easier to make money on the iPhone is due to the 100 million users that already have credit card accounts on iTunes. For a seasoned iTunes user, buying an App is as simple and opening iTunes and hitting "buy." iTunes users have been conditioned to pay for content. Android users have not.
Of course, it can be argued that this has always been a big problem with Linux based platforms. Open source communities are usually overloaded with people who think that software should be free, which brings me to my next point.
(5) The Android Market didn't support paid apps until February of 2009!
The cold hard reality of software is that developers go where the money is and that has consistently been the iPhone. By gimping a paid app structure from the start, Google killed any chance that major companies would take them seriously. When your user base has been conditioned to expect apps for free, it's hard to convince them to start paying at a later date.
So what can we conclude from this? While Android's approach to the Android Marketplace has certainly given it an elevated stature with developers, particularly those in the Linux community, Apple's approach has actually engendered more of a stable platform to deliver content and this naturally translates into more money. Apple's recent promotion of In-App purchases has given developers another tool to use in their fight against piracy. The option to verify users on both the server of the developer and Apple makes it almost impossible to pirate some apps, since a hacker would have to figure out a way to fake an In-App purchase receipt.
Of course, the iPhone App Store is not without problems. For every success story, there are equally embarrassing stories about the inconsistency of Apple's approval process and Apple's rather draconian attempts to make jailbreaking illegal. There has also been a race to the bottom in the iPhone App Store that has hurt the profit margins of some developers, particularly those who migrated their apps directly from the Mac platform.
Of course, these controversies don't seem to have made an impact outside of the developer community and Google would do well to adopt some of the better aspects of Apple's market, particularly the use of DRM to protect Android Apps and the ability to browse apps on Android's web site. If Google truly wants to extend the range of Android outside the realm of open-source geeks and attract big companies like Gameloft back to the Android Market, they have to take this piracy problem seriously. While I'm a self admitted Apple Fanboy, some viable competition for Apple would be good for all of us.
Note:* Since posting this article, T-Mobile has rolled out a new feature that allows Android users to charge Marketplace purchases to their phone bill. This is a positive step forward, at least for T-Mobile users. It remains to be seen whether Google will actually make an app that compares to iTunes.
