User’s of jailbroken iPhones aren’t limited to applications from Apple’s official store. They can also install 3rd party apps that haven’t been through Apple’s screening process, and now the developers of those apps have a simple way to charge for their apps.
Most iPhone jailbreaking tools install Cydia app store, which makes it the most popular option for distributing 3rd party apps. Up to this point, a few 3rd party developers have tried charging for apps, but they had to roll their own ecommerce solution.
Starting this weekend, Jay Freeman, the creator of the Cydia store, has added an option to allow developers fot charge for their apps. Right now it only works with a limited number of applications, but in the coming weeks, he’ll be opening it up to more developers and offering more payment options (currently it is Amazon only).
