어제는 조금 패닉 상태였다. 25일 배송, 1~2일 뒤면 받을 것이라고 하던 아이폰(iPhone)이 11월 30일 저녁까지 배송 조회조차 되지 않았기 때문이다. 송장 번호가 올라라온 것은 28일이다. 그러나 28일부터 11월 30일까지 배달정보가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 우체국에 전화해서 이름으로 조회를 해도 찾을 수 없었다. 더 큰 문제는 이런 상황이 발생해도 '문제를 확인할 수 있는 소통 채널이 단 하나도 없었다.'

폰스토어는 항상 통화 중이다. 'KT M&S 고객센터'는 대기시간 31초라고 하며 대기하면 10여분 벨소리만 울린 뒤 "대기자가 많다"며 자동으로 전화가 끊어진다. 이 과정에서 ARS를 들으며 매번 주민등록번호를 입력해야 하기 때문에 상당히 짜증이 났다^[1]. 또 폰스토어에 전화를 해서 어쩌다 전화가 걸리면 폰스토어가 아니라 쇼 고객센터로 연결됐다. 쇼 고객센터에 문의하면 모로쇠로 일관하며 폰스토어에 전화하라는 앵무새 같은 답변만 들었다^[2]. 고객센터 게시판에 문의 글을 올려도 답은 없다. 여기에 폰스토어측에서는 배송에 관한 공지는 단 하나도 올리지 않고 있었다.

즉, 어제 저녁까지 배송조회가 되지 않아 오늘도 받을 수 없을 것으로 생각했다. 여기에 간신히 폰스토어에 통화한 분의 이야기에 따르면 "오늘 아침 배송, 내일, 모래 수령이 가능할 것"이라는 이야기까지 돌았다. 이 과정에서 느낀 것은 'KT는 왜 평생 2류일 수밖에 없는가' 하는 점이었다. 아이폰의 국내 출시의 가장 큰 공은 역시 KT이다. 위피부터 LBS까지 KT가 아이폰에 들인 공은 상당하다. 그런데 그 모든 공을 딱 하루만에 날리는 무서운 저력을 폰스토어는 보여 주었다. 이 부분은 따로 글을 올릴 생각이다.

아무튼 오늘은 총 15개의 어플을 소개하겠다. 이 중 어제 올라온 MosquitoSpray와 오늘 트위터에 급히 알린 Interview Buzz Pro는 이미 무료로 전환됐다. Interview Buzz Pro는 3~4시간 무료로 올라왔는데 지난 번과 마찬가지로 이번에도 조금 빠르게 유료로 전환됐다. 다만 이런 소식을 조금 더 빨리 알고 싶다면 트위터 가이드를 읽고 팔로하기 바란다. 트위터로는 글을 통해 소개하기 힘든 100명 한정, 한시간만 무료와 같을 어플도 올리기 때문이다.

TwitBird는 프로그램의 종류가 많다. Twitter on TwitBird는 무료, TwitBird Premium은 1불, TwitBird twitter push notification(TwitBird Pro)은 3불에 판매된다. 이름을 보면 알 수 있지만 TwitBird Premium는 푸시 기능이 없는 TwitBird Pro로 보면 된다. 기능이 뛰어난 것은 아니지만 공짜 트위터 어플을 원한다면 내려받기 바란다. 평상시 1불, 특별 주말 할인으로 무료로 제공된다.

mAgiNotes는 간단한 노트 프로그램이다. 어제 소개한 Secret Diary나 며칠 전 소개한 WINC 보다는 디자인이 떨어지는 노트 프로그램이다. 평상시 1불, 11월 30일까지 무료로 제공된다. Skreeky는 평상시 4불이나 하는 어플이다. 내용을 보면 알 수 있지만 단순히 문자로 채팅하는 것이 아니라 음성으로 채팅할 수 있는 어플이다. Brain Trap는 두뇌훈련 퀴즈 어플로 평상시 1불, 무료 기간이 명시되어 있지 않는 어플이지만 가격 이력을 보면 유료로 전환될 가능성이 많아 소개하는 어플이다.

Mind Map은 상대의 마음을 속일 수 있는 어플로 평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다. QUBIX는 한번 소개한적이 있는 어플이다. [중력 센서를 이용 낙하산으로 탈출하는 어플][26]이라고 한다.평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다. Oh Mummy는 전통적인 머미 게임으로 평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다. iNuttyNews는 LA 타임즈, NY 타임즈등 신문을 볼 수 있는 뉴스 어플로 평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다.

Email Chess는 아이폰이나 아이팟 터치(iPod Touch)에서 사용할 수 있는 체스 게임 어플이다. 아이폰용 체스 게임은 디자인이 떨어지는데 이 어플은 1불짜리 치고는 그나마 나은 디자인을 제공한다. 평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다. Rocket Fart은 인기 XBox XNA 게임이라고 한다. 평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다. Smart Mirror는 간단한 거울 어플이고, BattleFleet Embedded는 숨어있는 배를 맞추는 간단한 게임 어플로 모두 평상시 1불, 제한된 시간 동안 무료로 제공된다.

BattleFleet Embedded 1.0(Games)[[iTunes][15]]

Price: $0.99 -> Free

Congratulations! In honor of Cyber Monday, you get BattleFleet for the incredibly low price of $0.00 -- that's right, absolutely nothing. Hurry up though, cause this won't last!

Try for FREE at iphonebattlefleet.com

Before there was an App Store, there was BattleFleet. And it was good. How good? At the time it was called "The best game for iPhone" by TUAW. Then Apple opened the App Store, and BattleFleet faded into iPhone folklore...

Until Now! Put on your Admiral's Hat (not the one from World of Warcraft, unless you must) and gear up, 'cause it's time for... BattleFleet Embedded!

BattleFleet is the game of "Hit or Miss!" played for generations in schoolyards on grid paper. You and your opponent secretly place 5 ships on a 10 x 10 grid: The Aircraft Carrier, the Battleship, the Destroyer, the Submarine, and the PT Boat. The players then take turns trying to sink each other's ships. If you miss, your turn ends. If you hit, you get to shoot again until you miss.

The game ends when one player runs out of bombs, or sinks all of the other player's ships.

All of your favorite fast-paced gameplay is here, including easter-eggs (wink, wink).

New in this version:

• Sleek new user interface.
• No internet connection required to play

Plus expanded game functionality in future updates.
