Apple App Store 5th Anniversary Brings Several iOS apps totally free.

Some iOS titles, including Infinity Blade II, Tiny Wings, and Traktor DJ, are now available for free in Apple's App Store.

Some popular iOS applications suddenly appeared as "free" in the Apple App Store this week, and most likely it's due to the store's 5th Anniversary.

Many of these free apps were sold previously for a few dollars. Some of the iOS popular applications offered for free are Infinity Blade II and Tiny Wings. Traktor DJ wich costs $19.99 is also available for free.

Some tech portals on the web are reporting that this could be an early promotion in anticipation of the App Store's 5th anniversary. The Apple App Store opened on July 10, 2008.

Apple has not say a word about any promotion on the App Store but these free paid apps will surely not be available forever.

Before July 10 everyone using iOS will surely want to take a look to the App Store, Some other apps may appear as free next days.

Blackberry Messenger will be offered for Android and iOS for free

Blackberry Messenger for Android and iOS

Blackberry has just announced a plan to offer their popular IM platform BlackBerry Messenger to Android and iOS for free download.

This announcement was made this morning on Blackberry Live 2013 event at Orlando, Florida, by the company CEO. This transition is expected to become effective this summer, according to Blackberry.

This is surely a strategy for retaining old BBM users who have switched platform, and also gain new followers who are using other IM programs such as Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, etc.
You can clearly see with this movement that Blackberry is really willing to regain a market in which they were absolute leaders in the past.

Personally, i am very excited about this announcement, and as a former Blackberry user feel nostalgic to be able to use that service on my Android.
Some days ago the Blackberry Z10 release, and now, this important transition of a service that was jealously Blackberry exclusive, are indications that the company will surprise us soon with more new things never seen before... So expect more.
