One of Apple's many sell iphone curious restrictions on iPhone apps has now been lifted. It used to be that, in order for developers to have
microtransactions / in-app purchases, they had to charge something upfront for the software, essentially requiring consumers to pay at least twice, or not at all. Well, all
that's changed, as the company has sent word to its developer community that the restriction has been original iphone
lifted, meaning those annoying "Lite" and "Full" versions cluttering the app store can now be one and the same, with folks downloading the demo and paying to upgrade from within
the iphone 3g app itself, a model that's worked to success in other software ecosystems like Xbox Live. Sure,
there's gonna be developers out there that abuse the newly-minted iphone 3gs business model, but it's not like
anything was stopping them before when they charged $2 upfront only to get you again later. The mass email announcement is reprinted after the break.
A kingston 8gb USB USB flash drive consists of flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB 1.1
or 2.0 interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, much smaller than a floppy disk, and most weigh less than 1 ounce (30 g). Storage capacities can range
from a few megabytes to 256 GB with steady improvements in size and price per capacity. Some allow 1 million write or erase cycles and
kingston DT200 have 10-year data retention.USB flash drives are often used for the same purposes as floppy
disks were. They are smaller, faster, have thousands of times more capacity, and are more durable and reliable due to their lack of moving parts. Until approximately 2005, most
PC and laptop computers were supplied with floppy disc drives, but most recent equipment has abandoned floppy disk drives in favor
4gb USB of USB ports.Flash drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by modern
operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix-like systems. USB drives with USB 2.0 support can store more data and transfer faster than a much larger
optical disc drive and kingston USB 16gb can be read by most other systems such as the Microsoft Xbox 360.
