Hi Fred,
To you or me and maybe to most people on this list 99 Cents is not an amount we think about a lot. However, keep in mind that there are people on this list from countries like Vietnam, India, some African countries and who knows where else to whom spending a Dollar may not be something they just can do without thinking about it. Yes, if somebody from such a country has an iPhone that might be an indication that they are not as poor as others although the iDevice they have may just be an older iPhone 3GS that was passed on to them. In any case, I don't think it's very respectful to tell anybody it's only 99 Cents so what's the big deal because those 99 Cents may in some countries just be most of the food money for a day. My girl-friend in the Philippines works 9 hours a day and 6 days a week waitressing in a hotel restaurant and she takes home about $5 a day for that. Even those of us in North American, Australia and most European countries who have little are very lucky to be where they are. There are also people to whom $10 or $20 or even $100 isn't a big deal, but I bet if you commented that you couldn't afford something right that moment and it was $100 you would not appreciate some rich person's comment "What's the big deal, it's only a hundred bucks". OK, I don't want to start a big debate about poverty and all that and I don't want to offend you in any way, Fred, but I have been to third-world countries and such comments just rub me the wrong way. It's too bad Apple doesn't allow people to gift any apps to people in other countries because otherwise I'd just send that person the What's Up app. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Fred Olver Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2013 8:31 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: whatsapp What's the big deal, I looked, it's only $0.99 U.S. Fred Olver ----- Original Message ----- From: David Chittenden <mailto:dchitten...@gmail.com> To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2013 10:28 PM Subject: Re: whatsapp Nope, not unless the manufacturer decides to give it away promotion. This occasionally happens with various apps. There are apps that track sales and free-sales in the App Store.
