Just a little FYI. You may notice a new section in the App Store next time you get on there: Try Before You Buy. This is where you’ll find pay apps that have “lite” or timed demo versions. Of course, you could just buy the app and then return it if you don’t like it, but hey. This is good too.

It’s funny, the App Store reminds me more and more of the old shareware sites where you could download demos, a few extra maps, and that sort of thing. Remember downloading those 20-30MB self-extracting archives with an episode of Duke Nukem 3D or something tucked inside?
