Apple Could Be Applying Paid App Upgrades to Apple App Store Soon

It indicates a feature that will give you a discounted price to upgrade an older version of apps while it also allows to purchase the items at full price. The strange is Apple put a ‘Buy’ button instead of ‘OK’ button as instructed on the dialog box. A rumor said this could be something that developers has been waiting for since long time ago, that is the paid upgrades feature. Said to say, if this is true it’s not a good news for iTunes custumers although good for developers and of course Apple.

But with this new update you probably want to really hold a moment before deciding to buy this phone. An interesting info posted by Android and Me blog recently explaining the major problem of the Nexus One multitouch recognition which is not found on the Droid. This is not a good sign for Android game developers since the latest update about this issue said it’s more likely to be a hardware issue and not sure can be fixed by software update.
