Uncle Freemium Wants You!

Today’s generation has grown up on the internet and  as a result, has become accustomed to the concept of free. Free news, free games, free TV, free music – name it and you can get it (and more) on the internet without paying a penny.  So who pays the bill? Uncle Freemium does.

The Android clan is just getting started—but is its presence strong enough to shake Apple from the smart phone family tree?

Type “twitter” into the Apple App search box and pages of frustratingly similar clients pop up. There are so many similar apps available on the iPhone that it is confusing at times. Just look to the blogosphere to see what I mean. Competition is fierce and sites like applerejectedme.com and [...]
