1Password App discounted by more than 50%

1Password [Direct Link] is by far my most used app next to the built-in apps like Phone, Messages, Calendar, Camera, and Mail. I use 1Password every day.

FullBlast – Stream music from your iPhone, iPad (mini) and iPod Touch I’ve been a long time Playstation 3 owner, and while there are many similar features between the PS3 and the Apple TV, I just haven’t been able to bring myself to purchasing an Apple TV… yet.
