As 2008 comes to a close, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your readership and support during whatsoniphone’s first six months.

Dimitri, Ron, and I, first conceived of this website sometime before the opening of the App Store. We assumed that if Apple were to create an easy to use system for the distribution of iPhone and iPod Touch applications there would be a flood of creativity in the development world resulting in a wave of applications the scope of which has never before been seen.

From the countless hours initially designing the site, to the weeklong marathon to populate the site with the initial 500 applications, whatsoniphone has been a labor of love.

In the first six months, we have posted over 500 blog posts, ranging from news and tips to application updates and sales.  We reviewed hundreds of applications (which we hope have been helpful in deciding which were worth buying.) and we’ve had a great time doing it.

The site, however, is nothing without you, our readers and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you.

Among the initial goals when first starting What’s On iPhone this past June was the hope that the site would quickly become a helpful resource for everyone. To that end, we wanted to let you know about some of the new things you be seeing on the site.

To celebrate the new year, a group of independent iPhone application developers have joined forces to bring some great iPhone and iPod Touch apps to you at substantially reduced prices.

These applications will be discounted heavily for at least 48 hours from Dec 31st to Jan 1st- so act fast to get these deals!

A complete list, and direct links to the App Store after the break.

(Please note, prices are based on current information, please always double check before purchasing.)
