A two dollar ringtone is not an application.
And a tetris ripoff for five bucks isn't exactly making me jump for joy either.

Good thing I already got the terminal client before they were to charge me 10 bucks for it.

Ten bucks is pretty cheap, and terminal monkey is the most useful app for me, so I can't really complain about the price.

But I wonder how smart charging for these apps is.. Does T-mobile determine the price of apps? I hear on some carriers, AOL Mail is $5 every month! I guess we can be happy that Terminal client dosn't have a monthly, recurring fee.

Checking out the competition, there are at least two free ssh clients for the Treo, and two commercial ones available for $25 or so.

Still, charging for an app that was previously free, and not marked as a preview, seems a bit amaturish.

Also, I discovered something great about the hiptop -- it has a TRANSREFLECTIVE LCD!! I was reading a web site on the hiptop outside in bright sunlight and was surprised that I could read the screen. I love the transreflective screen! I wish my powerbook had one...

Ok, I'm rambling..
