Apple Mac HQ

Hot on the heals of another application promotion, MacUpdate Promo has released a bundle of applications for less than $50. The deal is that you get seven applications for $49.99. The applications are full licenses with normal upgrade paths, except for Swift Publisher which will be a paid upgrade. As the number of people buy the application bundle increases, you receive additional applications when a certain number of bundles are sold. The applications in the bundle are:

• ForkLift
• RapidWeaver
• Swift Publisher
• Marine Aquarium
• Xslimmer
• MemoryMiner
• Yep
• XMIND 2008 Pro (unlocked at 1,000 bundles sold)
• iStabilize (unlocked at 2,400 bundles sold)
• PulpMotion (unlocked at 5,000 bundles sold)

I’ve used both ForkLift and RapidWeaver, but haven’t heard of the others. If any of the applications listed are applications that you are intested in buying, you might want to get in on this deal. RapidWeaver ($49) alone is nearly the cost of the bundle itself. Don’t forget, RapidWeaver is also part of the Give Good Food To Your Mac promotion.  You have until December 12th to take advantage of the MacUpdate promotion.

If your holiday shopping involves a Mac user, you might want to check out the Give Good Food To Your Mac promotion put on by a group of European Mac developers. While at WWDC this year, a group of developers came together and hatched the idea of a “great Mac feast with Mac apps made by the top European developers”. Give Good Food To Your Mac is the result of the idea seeded at WWDC this year.

The idea of Give Good Food To Your Mac is fairly simple. Choose any combination of the 28 applications available and receive a discount when you purchase three or more. As you add more applications to your shopping cart, the discount grows. Purchase three applications and you’ll trigger the 30% discount. Purchase 10 applications and you’ll receive a 70% discount. Discounts range from 30-70 percent.

The following applications are part of the promotion:

-Unity Indie
-Tables
-Pixelmator
-Together
-Feeder
-FotoMagico Express
-Art Text
-Money
-FreeWay 4 Express
-FreeWay 4 Pro
-RapidWeaver
-Merlin
-Geophoto
-Contactizer Express
-Contactizer Pro
-CSSEdit
-PulpMotion
-VideoPier
-BannerZest
-Cheetah3D
-iStopMotion Home
-Expert Wine Cellar
-iDive
-Morphage
-Magnet
-CoverScout
-Personal Trader
-Remote Buddy

I don’t own any of the applications in the promotion, but I’ve been testing CSSEdit for a while now and I’m likely to buy it. With this promotion offer, I’m going to give RapidWeaver and Pixelmator a try too.
