Being an app, iPad, Mac junky, I was looking forward to the new mac app store. However, after browsing through its offering, I find little there worth adding. I don’t see the need to replicate what’s on the iPad, especially if I have to pay for it yet again. (I already went through that during my Touch to iPad upgrade.)
The functionality of the few games I downloaded doesn’t compare to the fluidity of the ones built to work with iPad’s touch-screen controls. Dragging a cursor these days seems so, umm, 2009.
The price points are also a bit ridiculous. $19.99 for Bejeweled when I can grab it from any store for about $10? Needless to say, I’ll pass. Even though I’m not impressed, I haven’t lost hope. Apps have revolutionized personal computing, and as soon as we get more touch-screen laptops and desktops in the hands of consumers, we’ll all be converts.
