The revenge of the $9.99 iPhone apps
VentureBeat —
When Apple’s App Store first launched back in July there were a wide range of prices for individual applications. While many were free, quite a few of the early games were $5 or $10.

... that launched this week. Zagat may sometimes offer too many suggestions, but I find it useful when I limit geography, or as a resource for validating my own foodie guesswork.
