Despite a short stay in AppStore for a few hours, iDOS was grabbed by a lot of people in time:-)
It all started with the thread iDOS – DOS Emulator on touch arcade, became popular with the blog http://toucharcade.com/2010/10/26/idos/, and then was removed from App Store. I wasn’t there to witness the pull, but most of the sales should happen in its last 5 hours.
Another interesting thing is it doesn’t show up in any game categories, probably because I didn’t assign a secondary category for it. Emulator is not a kind of game, but it basically runs all kinds of games. So I was not sure which category it should be. And now I’ve found that even installing windows has become quite popular a game for iDOS users.
I got what you mean, regards for posting. Woh I am lucky to find this website through google.

Man… I can’t believe it. I saw the app on Toucharcade, but I misread the price as $9.99, so I didn’t get it! I’m incredibly angry at myself. I wish I could still get a legit copy… I really don’t want to jailbreak.
Is there still a way for me to get iDOS without jailbreaking?
I understand your pain.. but you may have to wait a while and pray for their approval:)
Things can be easier you’re an app dev, you can build from the code.
I missed it too, i was like “oh, ill buy it later”
But when I checked later it was gone.
Hey,
I´m really a big fan of iDos but I couldn´t grab a copy on iTunes. Luckily there still is the beta on Cydia and I downloaded this one. Since there is no way to actually buy it right now and I´d love to show my support I wonder if there is a way to donate and help you keep going?
Thank you, Crish. You can find the donate link right on the top of http://www.litchie.com/apps/dospad.html
Aside from my bitching in the other blog entry, what is the net from such a sale? Apple takes 30% (or 40%?) and then there are taxes. Do these depend on where you live or how does that work?
Not trying to stab you from behind when I can say how much you earned from these five hours, really I’m just genuinely interested for interests sake
Months of work, one day sale. I did receive donation from some people, but after all it is a small sum. If you think it is still profitable, please do it yourself.
Badabing badabang… As I wrote I was interested in how much one gets from the 0.99 and I think I made clear that I didn’t want to make stink of how much profit you made from that.
Thanks for the non answer.
No one knows the answer until Apple gives the financial report. From my experience it can be unexpectedly less than your own calculation from raw sales, but I never have the financial knowledge to find out why..
So at $0.99 x 6,561 (guessing not everybody used the promo code.
That’s instant money.
Time to get into the App biz.
