Its interesting they are repeating a few. Gives you the impression that they don't believe there are too many quality apps or perhaps they are having trouble getting the developers to come to the party?

Obviously the recycling of apps hints at the fact that the devs are taking the hit and google arent covering costs. First day was good, gone downhill from there Technology Journalist for Mobile Kiwi Twitter: @ArchSerpo

First day was good, gone downhill from there I notice that the 10c apps are at the top of the "Top Paid" list so it gives them a high profile which might be the pay off. I was hoping that Winamp pro might be in there one day but they seem to be recycling the same ones now. DLS

semigeek: Day 8 tomorrow. Lets hope that there are some decent apps in the line up - such as productivity apps. The only two in my opinion worth looking at today are Soundhound and Beautiful Widgets, both of which I already have. What are your opinions on the apps? WIth "DoodleJump" being available yesterday ... the kids have commandeered the tablet :)

First day was good, gone downhill from there Recycling the apps was always in the plan. I got an email on the first day from one of the developers saying thier app would be appearing multiple times over the period. HTC One X (AOKP Jelly Bean), on 2degrees

Even with the recycling of apps, and some useless widget and wallpaper ones, there have still been some great apps there. I have stocked up on quality games. Some time eaters: Jelly Defence Grave Defence HD Sentinal 3 Spirit fieldRunners GLWG Space Physics Heavy Gunner Apparatus Age of Zombies Doodle Jump And a few casual games for when I have the odd 5 mins: Flick golf Flick soccer Roll in the hole Fruit ninja Can Knockdown Should have enough to last me at least 6 months of commuting

There really is some quality stuff on there. GLWG and Jelly Defence are loads of fun. I got Grave Defence HD off the Amazon free-app-of-the-day a while back, that's pretty good too. I don't get the appeal of Doodle Jump. "You are" = "You're" - Not "Your". "They are" = "They're" - Not "Their" or "There". You probably mean "lose" not "loose". There's no such word as "Alot". On the internet, wasting time, since '89.

Last day today. IMO, there have been too many games and not enough "useful" apps. My last download for the deal is Camera ZOOM FX. Apple: Have it their way Android: Have it your way

Sentinel 3 is on sale today, a really great tower defence game. It's awesome on my transformer, not sure how it'd be on a little screen though. Asus eee pad transformer iPod 2G Windows 7 PC Lots and lots of Nikon camera gear
