About time! Apple lets you gift an app in the AppStore

About time! Apple lets you gift an app in the AppStoreHas hell frozen over? It appears as if it has as Apple’s finally given users the ability to “gift” an application. We stopped trying to figure out the iTunes store, and we’re still scratching our heads over why coupon codes for the iPhone only work in the US, but at least things got a little boost today.

We’ve been able to gift audio for a while now, and it seems like Apple’s finally decided it was time to let us gift an application in the iTunes store. It seems to be universal, and it “seems” to work both in the US, and Canadian AppStores. Now there’s a first: Canadians getting access to something in the AppStore at the same time as Americans.

We're testing out a new service called Spread.Us. Help us share our stories!

My husband approached them in September of 09 with the app allowing to gift an app and they said they couldn't do it. We tried pushing it before X-mas again, but they said that there are some legal issues involved. Now, the guy in the store to whom my husband presented calls us today and says 'guess what? it's being done now and looks awfully familiar!"
Well... may be it will teach my husband to talk to the attorney before sharing his work and ideas :((
