![]() ![]() ![]() The retail value of the bundle is stated to be $521.71US, and the first 15,000 bundles get Jets'n'Guns Gold and CuteClips thrown in for free (which brings the total value to a spooky $666.66US). The bundle is selling for $49.99US through June 12th, and you can grab trials of the apps, more information and purchase info at MacUpdate Promo. Its only drawback has been that it doesn't always handle multi-part RAR archives perfectly, but UnRarX has always filled the gap. I'm also a long-time user of BetterZip, a great compression utility handling a ton of formats. I don't plan on doing one any time soon, but it's nice to have the option. It can make those huge tiled posters out of hundreds of images, which is pretty neat, I guess. Posterino makes quick work of creating postcards and posters from your digital images. It's pretty new, but I've been impressed with it so far. Paperless is an awesome, scaled down version of apps like DEVONthink Pro Office, designed to help you get all of your paper documents into a well-organized and easily-searchable database. If only MoneyWell had an iPhone counterpart. I love Cha-Ching, and am a long-time user, but the new version and iPhone integration have been unstable enough that I need a switch.

Whereas the last MacHeist bundle had a somewhat "creative" bent, this MUpromo bundle has a definite technical angle, with a heavy dose of DVD ripping/remastering/viewing tools. I don't know much about the inner workings of bundle assembly, but I assume the bundle sponsor contacts developers and has some kind of engineered plan, even if it's just an inward bias toward certain genres of applications. MacUpdate is my current favorite source for great software deals and they've been doing a great job of providing really useful, intrinsically valuable apps. There's been some controversy surrounding bundles of this type, but I believe that it's great exposure for developers, and I'm hoping that everyone's getting a fair cut. If you were considering buying any one of these apps, the $49.99US pricetag makes the rest of them a high-value proposition. This thing is packed with truly useful applications. The MacUpdate Promo Spring Bundle has been revealed, and it is, as the kids say, wicked (or sick, or whatever the kids say). ![]()
