Well, I can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Rock Band for the iPhone OS by EA Games has hit the App Store’s Top 10 and conquered the Top Grossing list in the U.S. just a few days after its release this week. One could argue that this has happened to many App Store apps in the past, so what makes Rock Band so special? For one thing, the game sold for $9.99 with none of the free versions, trials, pricing sales or schemes that have been plaguing the App Store for quite some time now.

Whoever persuaded App Store developers to quit charging for their apps this week, I don’t know who you are, but thank you. And keep up the good work. There are at least three apps in my list this week that are actually worth money, but you can have them for free. Quick, to the list, before they change their minds!
