Get notified by Email or SMS when a Paid iPhone/iPod Touch App becomes Free

Love downloading free iPhone apps? Here’s a way to get notified either by email or sms when a paid app is available for free.

I absolutely love downloading free iPhone apps (who doesn’t). But it’s hard to keep tab of which app goes free and when. By using Google and Feed My Inbox, you can get SMS or email alerts when an app is available for free.

Google SMS: This service has currently been made available only for Indian mobile subscribers and is still a Labs feature. So we might not really know whether this will be around few months from now. Until then, Indian users can subscribe to this SMS channel. Around 3-4 SMS are sent each day, depending upon the number of apps that become free and also the number of SMS you’ve limited Google sending you.

Feed My Inbox: This is actually an RSS-to-Email service that sends you any feed as an email. You can use this feed created by our friends at KRAPPS (based on App Shopper).

Good ol’ RSS: If you don’t want to mess up your inbox and want to know when an app goes free the good old RSS way, use this link.

The new Limited Edition Prince Opus iPod

prince_opus_purple_ipod_touch_limited

The new Limited Edition Prince Opus iPod could be a reason to go crazy. British publishing company Kraken Opus will only sell 950 of the purple special-edition iPod Touch, which comes loaded with a 40-minute movie featuring footage from the enigmatic artist’s “21 Nights” 2007 tour in London, as well as a live soundtrack from his “Indigo Nights” album.

This new limited edition iPod Touch costs $2,100, which means that you’ll be paying $140 per song(!!). This is because the iPod comes with the “Prince 21 Nights Opus,” a book of photography of “21 Nights” shot by Randee St. Nicholas and including lyrics and poetry by the artist himself. T tome is more than 200 pages (each measuring 13 by 20 inches) and weighing in at “an epic 17 kg,” is bound in leather and comes in a velvet-covered case.

Kraken Opus CEO and founder Karl Fowler says that one-third of the 950 available Opuses and iPods were already sold over the weekend.
