If you haven't already heard, there's a new MacUpdate promo out which includes apps like the Finder-replacement Path Finder, Socialite, and Garage Sale, plus many more.

If anything, the JooJoo itself looks like some serious JooJoo for Apple - here's hoping the boys at Cupertino have their thinking caps on, mmkay?
Need for Speed Shift is going to be released anytime now, and with those decreasing approval times I've been hearing about, it's probably a good thing that Touch Arcade have a preview for you.
