The Appulous website, which allows you to download previously paid-for apps to install on your iPod Touch or iPhone for free, is having some issues with a little bit too much traffic. If you’re not familiar with the process of obtaining paid-apps at no cost, a site called Appulous allows you to download a .ipa pre-cracked by someone who legitimately purchased it, and then install it on your iDevice for free. Almost any app—from $0.99 flying chicken apps to $99.00 GPS applications—are available.

Piracy is almost an unavoidable issue for PC and Mac developers, but even the App Store’s closed and protected environment hasn’t stopped hackers from “cracking” iPhone apps. Last week, Hackulous introduced Crackulous—a tool that makes it easier for iPhone apps to be cracked. Kali Anti-Piracy from Ripdev is a new service offering protection for iPhone developers worried about their apps being pirated.
