I’ve decided to split out the Car Locator application into a free and paid versions. The free version will be ad supported. The only functional difference between the two versions is that the freebie is missing the history feature (which basically gives you a chronicle of all your vehicle searches).
Why? Simply because a free app always gets a lot more eyeballs. And I am not really making an earth-shaking amount of money with it. Plus I want to do more with the app – thus user feedback is important. Now that Microsoft has announced the Mango version of the Windows Phone 7 OS, which includes features I’ve been wanting, I can take the app in a new direction. Specifically, it looks like sockets are a “go”, so I can throw in a lot of peer to peer features, such as helping multiple lost people find their way via the application.
Anyway, go get the freebie goodness.
