And as one of the final posts of 2009, I thought I’d zoom into the Appstore and see what were the best grossing apps at the end of 2009 (Australia).
Here were the final winners:
- TomTom GPS (TomTom) – AU$99.99
- The Simpsons Arcade (Electronic Arts) – AU$5.99
- James Cameron’s Avatar (GameLoft) – AU$12.99
- Need for Speed (Electronic Arts) – AU$8.99
- N.O.V.A. – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance (GameLoft) – AU$8.99
I’m surprised that TomTom is still number one considering that there are better value GPS apps now available in Australia like CoPilot. It’s a decent GPS app, but CoPilot’s interface is superior in my opinion – I like how CoPilot allow you to pinch and zoom on the actual navigation screens. At the moment it’s also only AU$59.99! $40 cheaper.
Need for Speed has always been one of my all-time favorite PC games, especially due to the fact that you could add weird and wonderful cars into the game like the BatMobile or an Imperial Speeder Bike. I may download this one next over the break.

Below are some screenies from the game:
