Day 9 of the 10-cent Android Market sale

Day 6 of Google 10-cent app promo


Day six of the Android Market 10-cent app sale sees eight new apps and the return of two: Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro and Great Little Whiine 6: Asphalt HD.



Returning apps is not a bad thing. After passing on Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro on Day 1 because I do not need it, I reconsidered my lifestyle and decided and should change it so that I do need this app. I also picked up SimCity.

Day 5 of Google 10-cent app promo

A bit late, but here are the current offerings:

Unfortunately, I could not buy Pano with my credit card on the discounted price through my phone Market App (it gives me the message that my card is not valid for payment for this transaction) though I have bought others at the 10-cent price. I decided to try from the desktop and was able to buy Pano! I wish I new this two days ago :(

Third day of Google 10 cent app promo

We are now in the third day of Google's 10-cent app promo in celebration of reaching the 10-billion download milestone on the Android Market. I picked up three of the first 20 apps on promo: Sketchbook Mobile, Soundhound and Read It Later Pro. For some reason I could not buy Paper Camera and Sky Chart while they were on discount with my credit card. I guess it has something to do with minimum authorized purchase prices across some jurisdictions. 

I noticed the new apps for the day start showing up at about 12-noon UTC. The apps of the previous day continue to be on discount for a few hours after the new ones show up, so as many as 20-apps are on discount.

This promotion is part of Google celebration for the having reached the milestone of one billion downloads from the Android Market.

10-cent (Php4.33) App promo at the Android Market


It looks like Christmas has come early to the Android Market. Several apps are now being offered at a discounted price of 10 cents, or Php4.33. Apparently, this is in celebration of the Android Market having hit 10 billion downloads.

Here are a list discounted titles found:

GiGaOM posted that this promo will last for ten days, and expects new apps on discount everyday for the next ten days.

Swiftkey is my keyboard of choice on Android. If you are still using the stock keyboard, it is a must have, and at Php4.33, a no braniner. I promptly upgraded my free versions of SketchBook Mobile and Sound Hound to the paid versions. Unfortunately, for some reason, my credit card is not valid for a purchase of paper camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note Pre-order Promo: Lightning strikes twice

Remember the Samsung Galaxy S II pre-order promo a few months back. The device was offered as a pre-order discount, with a free case, for a limited period. After the pre-order period the Samsung Galaxy S II immediately appeared on the store shelves at a below the suggested retail price which basically made only free case as th advantage for getting one on pre-order.


Well, it has happened again, this time with the Samsung Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Note has a suggested retail price of Php35,990, and was offered on a pre-order promo at a discounted price of Php33,990, plus a free flip case an a one months subscription to the Philippine Daily Inquirer Digital Edition valued at Php1,120.

Yesterday, the Galaxy Note showed up at CMK Cellphones at a price of Php31,000 with an official warranty from Samsung Philippines. Basically, from CMK you get the Galaxy Note at Php4,990 less than the suggested retail price, and and Php2,990 less than the pre-order price. 

So is the free flip case an a one months subscription to the Philippine Daily Inquirer Digital Edition worth Php2,990?

Samsung better get their pre-order promotion in order. This is getting tiring.

This means you pay Php46,000 over two years, get unlimited data (subject to some restrictions), and 150 minutes of calls and 200 SMS to all networks per month.

LG Optimus Black @Php15,990

LG is offering its slim 4-inch Android phone, the LG Optimus Black, on a promotional price of Php15,990 which is a discount of Php2,000 from its current market price. The promotion runs until December 18, 2011.


The promo mechanics are a bit more complicated than I would have liked. To avail of the promotion you have to buy it online through LG's website and payment must be made through a credit card or paypal account. The phone will be delivered to your address. Would be better if they just offered the promotional price on over the counter sales. Anyway, you can get you the LG Optimus Black at the promotional price by following this link.
