무료 어플에 대한 소식을 조금 더 빨리 알고 싶다면 "연아와 트위터를"를 읽고 팔로하기 바란다. 트위터로는 글을 통해 소개하기 힘든 100명 한정, 한시간만 무료와 같을 어플도 올리기 때문이다. 마지막으로 트위터를 통한 질문에는 거의 답하지 않는다. 트위터를 이렇게 운영하는 이유는 "트위터 운영 노하우 및 팁"이라는 글을 보면 된다. 따라서 트위터로 질문하고 답이 없다고 서운해 하지 않았으면 한다. 질문을 하고 싶다면 반드시 블로그에 관련글을 찾아 올리거나 "도아의 QNA"를 이용하기 바란다.
무료 어플에 대한 글을 올리다 보면 무료 어플에 대한 정보를 어디에서 얻는지 묻는 사람이 있다. 기본적으로 이 정보는 애플에서 제공한다. 다만 애플(Apple)에서 제공하는 정보는 최근 가격이 바뀐 정보일 뿐 '오늘만 무료 어플은 아니다'. 내가 하는 일은 애플과 다른 인터넷 사이트에 올라온 가격이 변동된 제품을 조사, 짧은 기간 무료로 제공하는 어플과 무료는 아니지만 구입해도 괜찮은 유료 어플을 올리는 것이다.
그런데 이런 정보를 올리는 것도 고깝지 않은 사람이 있는 것 같다. 그 사람의 논리는 판도라박스(Pandorabox)라는 어플 하나만 있으면 되는데 '뭐하러 고생하느냐'는 것[1]이다. 판도라박스는 애플에서 제공하는 가격이 변한 제품의 정보, 많이 나간 제품의 정보를 보여 주는 앱 스토어(App Store)와 비슷한 어플이다. 앱 스토어도 마찬가지고 판도라박스도 마찬가지지만 이 어플을 이용해서 어플을 찾는 것은 쉽지 않다.
하루에 가격이 변하는 어플은 약 100개에서 150개 정도가 된다. 판도라박스로 100~150개의 어플을 일일이 확인하고, 그 중 오늘만 무료인 어플을 내려받는 것과 이 글을 통해 PC(Personal Computer)로 iTunes를 통해 구입하는 것, 어느 것이 더 간단한 것인지는 아마 고까워 하는 사람을 빼면 알 수 있을 것이라고 생각한다. 다만 남을 위해 단 한가지 도움도 주지 못하는 사람이 항상 저런 글을 남긴다는 것이 씁쓸할 따름이다.

오늘은 총 6개의 어플을 소개하겠다. 조금 비싼 어플이 있다면 소개하는 나도 상당히 즐거웠겠지만 오는 소개하는 어플은 모두 평상시 1불에 판매되는 어플이다. 먼저 Financial 101는 이름처럼 돈을 쓸때 기회비용과 같은 것을 계산할 때 도움이 되는 어플이다. Bugsy는 PC에서 상당히 흔히 볼 수 있는 게임이다. Wild Wild Train과 비슷하게 벌레가 꽃에 갈 수 있도록 길을 만드는 게임 어플이다. 역시 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다.
AsiaShowGirls은 따로 설명이 필요없는 어플로 보인다. 말그대로 아시아인 여성의 사진을 보여주는 어플이다. 17세 이상만 구입할 수 있으며, 그림에는 속옷 차림의 여성이지만 실제 속옷 차림의 여성은 많지 않다. Shufflito는 음악 어플로 노래를 섞는 어플이다. 다만 설명에서도 알 수 있듯이 같은 노래를 두번 들을 일은 없다고 한다. 또 노래가 많으면 아이팟 터치(iPod Touch)나 아이폰(iPhone)을 다시 시작해야 한다. 이 어플은 오는 10월 20일까지 무료로 제공된다.
CandyClock은 A Video Clock이라는 이름에서 알 수 있듯이 시계 화면으로 상당히 멋진 영상을 보여주는 시계 어플이다. 아이팟 터치나 아이폰을 흔들면 배경 영상을 바꿀 수 있다. 용량이 100M가 넘는 어플로 오늘만 무료로 제공된다. 알라딘의 요술램프에서 온 지니, 이 지니에 녹색의 개념을 더한 어플이 Green Genie이다. 이 어플은 한주동안 무료로 제공된다.

For Financial Students this application is going to save the day.
The application includes
Present value is the value on a given date of a future payment or series of future payments, discounted to reflect the time value of money and other factors such as investment risk. Present value calculations are widely used in business and economics to provide a means to compare cash flows at different times on a meaningful "like to like" basis.
Future value measures the nominal future sum of money that a given sum of money is "worth" at a specified time in the future assuming a certain interest rate, or more generally, rate of return; it is the present value multiplied by the accumulation function.
In finance, rate of return (ROR), also known as return on investment (ROI), rate of profit or sometimes just return, is the ratio of money gained or lost (whether realized or unrealized) on an investment relative to the amount of money invested. The amount of money gained or lost may be referred to as interest, profit/loss, gain/loss, or net income/loss. The money invested may be referred to as the asset, capital, principal, or the cost basis of the investment. ROI is usually expressed as a percentage rather than a fraction.
Compound interest is the concept of adding accumulated interest back to the principal, so that interest is earned on interest from that moment on. The act of declaring interest to be principal is called compounding (i.e., interest is compounded). A loan, for example, may have its interest compounded every month.
All modules includes a very detailed help and examples of use.
Enjoy it.

Shufflito 1.5(Music)[[iTunes][4]]
Price: $0.99 -> Free
Never hear the same song twice.
To celebrate the release of our latest version we've made Shufflito **FREE for one week (10/13/2009 - 10/20/2009)**. If you or your friends have ever wanted to try out Shufflito, now is the time!
*Note: you may need to reboot your device to run Shufflito (especially if you have a large music library).
Shufflito "shuffles" all of the music on your iPhone/iPod touch just like the built-in iPod app; but unlike the iPod app, Shufflito remembers what songs you've listened to and only plays the songs you haven't heard yet.
Shufflito is as simple as can be. Tap the attractive red icon and Shufflito immediately begins playing your music. Shufflito displays the song, artist and album as well as album art (if available) of the song you're listening to. Tapping the album cover skips the current song; that's it.
Exit Shufflito by pressing the "Home" button (the round button with the white square on it) and Shufflito will remember what songs you listened to and start with a new track when you open it again.
Follow Shufflito on Twitter for news and update announcements: http://www.twitter.com/shufflito
Shufflito - it's good for your earbuds!
