Apple Thoughts: A New Kind of Software Bundle, No Middleman

"Mac software bundles haven't quite reached literal dime-a-dozen status, but that's not for lack of trying. As the holiday season hits full swing, it seems like there are more sale offers than ever before. But the new Indie Mac Gift Pack has a unique conceit that sets it apart: the app contains six apps from six independent software developers, who all share directly and evenly in the profits-with no middleman involved."

For $60.00, you get Delicious Library 2, Acorn 2, MarsEdit 3, Radioshift, SousChef and Sound Studio 4. Not a bad grouping of software, and to be honest I prefer bundles that are select and that I will get more use out of rather than getting a larger number of titles and only finding a couple useful. And not only that, these programs are the latest versions and fully upgradeable in the future at the same upgrade price as those that paid full price for the programs. One of the programs alone cost more than this bundle so it is a pretty good deal on a variety of programs. If interested, head on over to the Indie Mac Gift Pack site and check it out. If you are interested in other bundles, Macworld has a few you might be interested in.
