Free components for Windows 8 app development - Usually $399
Just got the email, seems to be a limited time promotion so don't know how long it will last. You can find more details here
http://www.syncfusion.com/sales/offers/buildwinrt
You have to add the product to cart from the above page, the discount will be reflected in the cart.
Use code BuildWinRT.
1 Year support & Updates are free . I see 0.00 in the checkout after applying the code.
Also, they have Metro Studio 2 for free, which is normally $499. The product looks great as you can create icons and convert fonts to icons easily.

.10c apps in the Android Market !!!!

Boys and girls, it looks like the android market's having a clearance sale. Open the market on your phone. At the very top should be an ad for 10c apps. Got a bunch myself. Don't forget to clear your cache if you don't see the deals.....or just search for each one individually.
Today's deals are:
SoundHound
Asphalt 6
Minecraft
Swiftkey X
Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro
Great Little War Game
SketchBook Mobile
Color & Draw for kids
Paper Camera
Fieldrunners HD
Haha darn you, I was gonna post, pretty awesome for google!
Free bump
.: sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch :.
Thanks downloaded a bunch.
Bumpidy bump.
Forgot to include Field Runners HD in the list. Original post updated.
Now all we need is titanium backup, uloops pro and root explorer and Im gravy.
If Google's gonna keep this up, they'll COMPLETELY win back any Market customers they might have lost to Amazon.
Nice move, Google:
"Instead of 1 free app, wouldn't you rather choose from a dozen apps that only cost a dime?"
Um...
Yes.
I love how sometimes it's the simplest ideas that work.
Got 5 new apps for $.50 and they look like pretty decent time wasters. Very nice.

can anyone help me i tried to download Swift key but after purchase i accidentally clicked refund and now it wont let me install because it says it has to be purchased
I like the playerpro sooo much but its too pricey, they could add that to the sale. Asphalt on the other hand is a GREAT DEAL, HD game from gameloft for 10c OMG.
To celebrate this milestone, we partnered with some of the Android developers who contributed to this milestone to make a bunch of great Android apps available at an amazing price. Starting today for the next 10 days, we’ll have a new set of awesome apps available each day for only 10 cents each.

I was playing around with Paper Camera today. Holy crap that's such a cool app. How did I not know about it?
There are some good apps on there. That Sketchbook app isn't cheap either. I had to grab most of the ones I didn't already have. Thanks OP!

Oooh. Minecraft.
Thank you so much, never would have looked! Ended up getting 5 applications.

Ran across this sale by accident.
Anyway, it looks like they are going to have 10 apps for $.10 for ten days.
Pretty cool.
Also, it looks like some of these apps were also offered as free from Amazon. I almost got Paper Camera and Sketchbook Mobile again until I checked my Amazon apps list. That's $.20 saved for 2 more apps tomorrow
Amazon drm sucks. So I just bought paper camera for 10 cents

Being Polaris Office free in Samsung Apps, what advantage does OfficeSuite Pro have?

Dunno, haven't started it. I've wasted 25 cent on just 1 game at the arcade in my youth, so figured that justified it.
This is a great deal, bought 3 apps, prolly gonna buy some more

Lol true... I'll dl once I get home and give it a shot. I've looking for a good RPG on android.
Like the .10 cent promotion where I bought everything on the list, I figure someday in the future, I may (or may not) ever use the app. Maybe on a new device, maybe not.
Even if I don't use it, ever, a dev got paid something and it may encourage that dev to produce more products in the future.
So with that mindset, I'll probably buy everything on this list too, even if I don't use it, just so the dev gets my appreciation for it. Again, who knows, maybe someday I'll actually use some of those apps.
.25 an app. So what, I'll skip a few sodas this week.
Awesome deal. I got Cut the Rope experiments, World of Goo (which i believe was 6.99 just yesterday!), Dungeon Village (same dev as game dev story, awesome) and shark dash, and doubletwist alarm clock. They are all great apps and they costed less then two bucks all together. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on these all week.

[Expired]Free MOGA controller!!!!!

Hey I hadn't seen this posted yet so I figured i'd go ahead.
Power A has a promo going on to celebrate Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour's release with a free controller promo:victory:! (And a copy of the game but let's face it, you know you're more interested in a Bluetooth controller.)
You have to pay S&H and it's for the US only, but I suggest grabbing one. It came out to a little over 5 bucks for me.
Use the promo code "SecretSanta" and you're good.
Only good today. (Well tomorrow till noon cuz they got pounded earlier and took the site down.)
here's the site
http://www.powera.com/Products/MOGA-Mobile-Gaming-System-Android
Enjoy!
Important Information
The promotion code "SECRETSANTA" could not be applied because the promotion has expired.
Not working any more, says the promotion code is expired.

[APP] Locket - Get paid for unlocking your phone!

Hey guys! Check out Locket, a new Android app that pays you for unlocking your phone
This is the greatest idea ever!
The app replaces your usual lockscreen with a nice sleek one that displays ads. You can choose to ignore the ad or go to it, either way you get money! The ads look nice as well, check out the link:
LINK REMOVED
It may seem like a scam, but it's not. Google about the app and you'll see that many good websites have talked about it, such as PCMag, ABC News, and Engadget! So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

Then so be it. You don't have to download it. I go on my phone alot, unlocking my screen. All those unlocks give me a penny, and at the end of day I'll get more then I expect.

From AndroidCentral:
So, how much are you going to get paid with Locket? The truth is, not much. This is a long-term play, at best, and even then you're not going to be buying much more than a six-pack with your spoils. You get the impression using Locket that you get 1 cent per unlock. But the truth — and this isn't anywhere in the fine print that we've seen, only in other published reports — is that it's capped at 3 cents per hour. Any unlocks beyond that — and the ads you view — are money in someone else's pocket. Not yours. (At the time of this writing, Locket hasn't responded to an e-mail seeking confirmation and clarification on the 3-cents-per-hour cap.)
Doing the math, that's a max of 72 cents a day. Or $5.04 a week. Or $262.80 a year — if you're unlocking your phone three times and hour, 24 hours a day. Which you won't be doing.
It's free money, but not worth giving up the security of a password lock to me. Or even the inconvenience of having TWO lockscreens. Raise the rates and play nicely with password locks, then we'll talk.
^^ Lol what a pain and no one likes ads. You could make more begging on the streets a couple times a year

For 9 days of unlocking... And not doing it every hour.

I have been using locket. You can also disable the stock lock screen by going into the setting and selecting the lock screen option to: none. I guess there are people like myself with nothing on my phone to hide so I don't ever use a pass code at my lock screen. It's been about three weeks and I have 5 dollars lol

Looks like they finally added confirmation:
There is currently a limit of 3 swipe-cents per hour as stated in our FAQ page. In the future, we may offer a different rewards structure to maximize users' and advertisers' satisfaction. **
Anyway, neat find and I have to give it to the app developers. This is the first time I seen anyone excited about getting ads lol.

Quick Office Free (Thanks 2 Google)

FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013
From now through Sept. 26, you have the opportunity to score an extra 10GB of Google Drive space, no extra charge.
The requirement: Install the new Quickoffice app for Android or iOS--which, incidentally, is also now free. Then sign into your Google account via that app. Presto! You get another 10GB of gratis storage.
Google recently purchased Quickoffice, and the fruits of their labor have finally bloomed. The app is now being offered for free for both Android and iOS, so you can do your document creation and editing without paying a cent.
Best of all, if you download the app, you can get 10 extra gigabytes of Google Drive storage for free! Sign in with your Google account in the app by September 26 and you’ll receive that 10GB for two years. Don’t expect to see it immediately; Google says it’ll be added to your account in the next few weeks.

Enjoy....

Well, it is not free UNTIL 26.9.13, it is free without restriction, only that extra 10GB you can claim until 26.9.13. Also "recently" is very inaccurate, Google bought it more than 1 year ago.

Huh? You lost me buddy!
It's free to download in the play STORE!! FYI
And to your "recently" quote! They may have bought it a year ago. But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept. But the Sept 26 date is for the extra 10 gigs of space you GET.

No, I did not lost you, buddy. Let see:
"FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" ... definitely not true, it will be free without restriction, that means also AFTER that date.
"Google recently purchased Quickoffice,..." ... also not true, at least I think "recently" should be maybe couple of months max, not more than a year in this case. In this case is June 2012.
from your last post "But it's now being announced that's it's available for free until the 26 of Sept." ... also not true, it will be free without restriction (as I already told).
You are only right about that until 26.9 you should get free space.
Also, I see what did you probably mean with "FREE UNTIL 9/26/2013" now, you were talking about that free space. But from the context of subject of this topic it was not clear.
But nevermind, Happy QuickOfficing for everybody.
