Alyssa Milano tweetin' hard about the Tweetie 2 upgrade price.

[Hodapp]

So if you're in the dark on all this drama, Tweetie, a Twitter client for the iPhone that I think is one of the best (if not the best) on the platform has a substantial upgrade coming. Since the App Store doesn't offer any kind of upgrade pricing, Tweetie 2 is being sold as a separate app for $2.99.

Tweetie 2 is a complete rewrite of the original, with oodles of new features and functionality without sacrificing any usability, much like the original. A full review with all the features is available here- http://smokingapples.com/software/reviews/tweetie-2-review-detailed-look/

So, regardless of the fact that Tweetie is a brand new app, and people have paid $3 for something they use every single day, paying again for the upgraded version is completely out of the question. The internet has exploded with the standard price whining that oddly has become so commonplace surrounding anything to do with the App Store.

Macworld put up a pretty hilarious article about the whole fiasco- http://www.macworld.com/article/143073/2009/09/tweetie2_pricing.html

But the true hilarity didn't come in until Alyssa Milano decided to weigh in on this egregious pricing model- http://www.businessinsider.com/alyssa-milano-doesnt-want-to-pay-3-for-her-twitter-app-2009-9

Who knew $3 would cause so much drama?

I love the opening line, B-list Bombshell Alyssa Milano, hahahahhahaha. That is too, too funny. I wonder if she was on the A-list if she'd make such a big deal?
