It is indeed - you can download the apps, but the freebies start on the 26th http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/itunes-12-days-of-christmas/id406478317?mt=8

Excellent. I got all 12 last year, but I think the only thing from it I still have installed is the Trivial Pursuit app. But as they say, you shouldn't sniff a gift horse

linkinpark875 · 16/12/10 - 13:36

What apps were on it last year?

I never had anything Apple until this year.

psionic · 17/12/10 - 13:25

They are giving away a free Kylie EP today.

From memory there was a Snow Patrol song, a Leona Lewis video and the Labyrinth game too last year

[Deleted User] · 17/12/10 - 21:30

ah yes! how could I forget the Labyrinth game, still got it on my ipod, very addictive, and also drives me nuts!:D

WillowFae · 17/12/10 - 23:07

I downloaded it the other day. Really pleased because I got my ipod for Christmas last year and it was one of the first apps I installed

[Deleted User] · 18/12/10 - 02:14

Last year- let's see, should be easy for me to identify everything except apps, as all I've ever bought on iTunes are two apps (one of which, annoyingly, is no longer on it due to Apple banning it as it displayed WiFi connection details)...

Music:
Snow Patrol- An Olive Grove Facing The Sea (2009 Version)

Music videos:
JLS- Everybody In Love
Robbie Williams- Morning Sun (Live from Berlin 2009)
Leona Lewis- Happy
Foo Fighters- Wheels

TV episodes:
Knowing Me, Knowing Yule
Outnumbered- The School Run

Short films:
Peter and the Wolf

Movies:
Lesbian Vampire Killers

That's 9 of the 12.

Trivial Pursuit was definitely one of the apps. Labyrinth as someone has mentioned was another, and Let's Golf! was the other app, so that is all 12 of 12.

And that's why they have 12 days of Christmas app-- to get new owners of iOS devices to get into the habit of getting stuff from the iTunes store-- that's where Apple make most of their money, especially with the iPod touch and iPad (the iPhone makes a big profit for them on the upfront/contract cost so iTunes sales don't matter so much with it). I won't say it is like a drug dealer giving some free crack and smack to potential new addicts, but Apple probably hopes it is

I'm not complaining, the odd free app is always nice, and I did play the JLS video once or twice to perv at Aston Merrygold

Humbug

anna42hmr · 26/12/10 - 12:34

the 12 days of xmas is definatly running, cheryl cole ep is todays download.

[Deleted User] · 26/12/10 - 17:15

I love Cheryl Cole, not only do we get her music single for free (I forgot its name), but a music video remix of it, PLUS a special edited video feature. Woot!!!!

How can the 12 days freebies get any better than that

AxG · 27/12/10 - 00:40

Was watching the Father Ted christmas special on 4oD, glad that it is today's freebie.

ZicoZ · 27/12/10 - 08:01

I was hoping for at least a bit of a choice ,each day ,to be honest :{

moon on a stick sir ?

apple don't usually give anything away and the usa don't even have the 12 days of christmas app..

[Deleted User] · 29/12/10 - 01:30

Oooh, finally an app for free today-- "Fishing Kings" from Gameloft, rather like how the same company made "Let's Golf!" free for a day as part of the 12 days of xmas last year.

Then again, quite recently Gameloft had an Advent Calendar promotion where they gave a freebie every day from 1-24 Dec, and whilst most of them were junk (or irrelevant unless you owned the device needed to install it), they did give away two iPhone/iTouch games-- "Driver" (arguably the best of any of their freebies, but on the very first day of the advent calendar, which I missed) and "Rayman 2", so they're not averse to the occassional freebie of what are generally considered very good games.

Now hopefully they'll sort out the problem with Fishing Kings as it is not downloading currently ("the item is being modified" thing).

linkinpark875 · 29/12/10 - 01:56

Sadly another freebie I won't be downloading.

jkain · 29/12/10 - 18:14

Fishing Kings is getting murdered in the app store ratings. People are complaining it takes ages to download, then either won't install or keeps crashing if it does. That's four of the twelve freebies down and I haven't downloaded a single one yet. I love Father Ted but I've seen that Crimbo special so many times before. Still hoping things will improve though..:p

Heh, I caught four:p Big swines, too:eek:

dosanjh1 · 30/12/10 - 13:54

E-book Life of Pie free today, it's also free on amazon for kindle, which I think is better than iBooks on an iPad.

It downloaded and worked fine here, after I went to sleep and tried again around midday. Not really played it properly yet though.

Hey there!
