iPhone's 'Try Before You Buy' a Big Disappointment

Try Before You Buy When we opened the iPhone App Store on Thursday we got a little excited. It seemed like Apple had finally answered the wishes of many in the iPhone owning crowd -- a chance to give apps a whirl before plunking down your hard-earned cash. Sadly, things are not always as they seem, and, when we opened the new "Try Before You Buy" section of the App Store, we were seriously disappointed. Rather than offering you a chance to play around with the app of your choosing, "Try Before You Buy" merely collects the "lite" and "free" versions of apps that were already available. Sure, we suppose it's nice to have all the demo versions of for-pay apps in one place, but we were really hoping for something more. Something a little more "magical" maybe. [From: Engadget]
