The discounts are from particular developers, not from Apple and its store. However, Apple gets a cut of a smaller sales price, so in effect Apple is sponsoring the discounts too.My favorite iPhone app at the moment is Pathways by Conniption Entertainment. It's on sale for $0.99 and I highly recommend it. I'm up to level 45.

Thanks for the suggestion.
It's nice and a good idea to have discounts on the apps though I'd also prefer real and worthwile deals on hardware too :o:apple:

They're not exactly holiday discounts, since they also happen to be introductory discounts, but...
There are two new entries in the Aurora Feint franchise that have intro pricing:
Aurora Feint II: The Beginning -- I think it's basically the II engine without all the multiplayer features, so it's sort of a direct upgrade to the feature set of the original AF. $0.99 -> $2.99 in January.
Aurora Feint II: Tower Puzzles -- is basically just the puzzle aspect of AF (like the level up puzzles). $0.99 -> $1.99 in January.

Yep, there are a lot of good apps you can get for free (only for the holidays) also. For anyone who hasn't tried it, you can get duckduckduck for free right now.

The two macheist apps today are things that I've always looked at but never bothered to purchase. It's nice to see them free! I'm looking forward to seeing what the two available tomorrow are.
