I read it on iReddit - the official reddit iPhone app arrives

I've heard enough, let me buy the app!

This idea has been floating around the office ever since I saw the Urbanspoon app *shake* *shake* on Steve's iPhone. But this past summer, Chris Dannen of FastCompany sent this along:

Are you guys planning on busting out a Reddit iphone app? Granted, the site is already in pretty iphone-friendly list format, but I could see it being pretty cool.

This resurrected visions of a shake-able reddit iPhone app to cure away-from-the-computer-ennui once and for all.

Thanks to some fantastic users (being open-source probably also didn't hurt) reddit already has a pair of iPhone apps. The first was developed by Joseph Pintozzi as a contribution to the open-source project -- it's aptly called open source reddit and is free. Shortly after that was released, the guys at 3Cube Technologies released Satellite at $4.99 now just $.99. We were still in the middle of turning a nifty idea into a working app; hard to do with a company of just 6.5 employees and a mountain of other, more pressing development.

Enter 280North to save the day. We exchanged a few emails discussing the app and it wasn't long before they walked into the office with a working demo.

We decided $1.99 was a reasonable price for this app; it will reward 280North for their great work and help us cover a few more servers. There's a free, ad-supported version coming, but we thought $1.99 was a price many of you would be willing to pay to never see advertising.

Speaking of advertising, here's a commercial you won't see on TV anytime soon.
