For those not up to date, the guys behind Installous have been fighting legal issues and it looks like they are loosing the battle.  Ultimately the users need to support the devs by buying the apps.  Most are under $10.  I remember paying $9.99 for Pac-Man on my old RAZR.   I understand if some want to “test” the apps  before officially purchasing, but I think the developers should be paid for their work.
