Oh yes. We’ve partnered with Quark: a leading provider of publishing software. Together with TapLynx, Quark users can now easily publish their newsfeed content into custom TapLynx-built iPhone/iPod apps.

The press release is here: http://bit.ly/clUAei

We’re really excited about this announcement- we’ve been working on this integration for a few months now and Quark has been a fantastic partner in the process. We’re looking forward to helping define the future of digital publishing!

TapLynx licenses at $500 on BlackFriday

50 TapLynx licenses $500 on BlackFriday

So in the spirit of transparency, we’re trying out a new tactic. Our framework sells for $3499 (a steal compared to the amount of work you’d need to do if you wrote an app from scratch), but we’re still getting feedback. We still get messages from Twitter and in our forums that the price is too high. The fact is, for some, anything above $0 will be too high, but we still want to help.

So in the spirit of BlackFriday, for 24 hours we’re going to sell 50 TapLynx licenses at $500 per. The deal will be available from midnight to midnight on 11/27, and only 50 licenses (we still need to pay bills too)

If you were ever interested in buying a TapLynx license for a significant discount – now is your chance.

Happy BlackFriday!

We hear you!

Apple Allows In-App Purchasing for Free Apps

In the flurry of activity surrounding our launch of TapLynx, I forgot to post the recent news from Apple that they are now allowing in-app purchasing for free apps; (previously it was only available in paid apps.) In a letter to developers, Apple explained that “now you can use In App Purchase in your free apps to sell content, subscriptions, and digital services.”

Wired notes one (of many) possible use cases: you download a free news content app and, within the app, you opt to pay for exclusive, for-purchase content. They also explain that it’s good news for developers saying it should “prove an effective marketing method to lure people into playing for more content eventually.”

Indeed, the San Francisco Chronicle, in an article, cites Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney explaining that this move by Apple should help “usher in the era of ‘micro SaaS’ on mobile devices.”

What do you think of this move?

So you know, TapLynx plans to add the ability of in-app purchasing to our framework in the future!
