It's Christmas day depending on which part of the world you are reading this in, and that means it is time for some paid-for apps to be offered at a huge discount on the App Store and by huge discount, we mean 100%! We've chosen three apps which would previously have set you back some cash, but are now available for absolutely nothing. Some are free for a limited time, and one has changed its business model completely.
The famous cross-platform messaging app WhatsApp is now officially available for all users running the latest and greatest mobile OS from Microsoft, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
Rumors of WhatsApp, which is a popular cross-messaging app for the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Symbian stirred up some news just a day or two ago that it would be ported to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 platform, but now a couple of screenies have emerged showing WhatsApp through Windows Phone’s Metro lens.
WhatsApp is a vastly popular cross-platform instant messaging app, used by many to replace SMS, yeonly t it supports the iPhone by default, leaving iPad and iPod touch users out in the cold. A few months ago, we reported on a method that forces WhatsApp to run on the iPad, yet we found that the exact same method can be used to install and use WhatsApp on the iPod touch.
Fans of the messaging tool WhatsApp should know that the only iOS device it's been designed to work on is the iPhone, leaving the iPad and iPad 2 completely out in the cold, unnecessarily. Thankfully there's WhatsPad, a jailbreak tweak that fools WhatsApp into running on 3G-capable iOS devices other than the iPhone.
Free apps are great, especially when they normally cost money. If they're as useful and as popular as WhatsApp, well, that's just a bonus isn't it? Now the every-popular cross-platform messaging app WhatsApp Messenger for iPhone is free, you owe it to yourself to give it a whirl.
