    I was bored over the weekend so I did up a little Java app that scans my iTunes and reports back the number of apps and current prices.

    So since I got an iTouch a few years ago to now I have 406 apps.

    The scary part is that it all adds to over 1000 euros. :eek:

    Going to add a UI to it then I will post it for people to play with.

    Over how many years though? I've started to keep a spreadsheet to keep track. None of your fancy-shmancy java for me!!;)

    €1000?? :eek:

    Does that include music/movies bought too?

    How many Sat Nav apps did you buy?!

    It is only factoring in the apps, as I scan the apps internal data. It contains the current price of the app.

    So it is not 100% reflective of what you paid. So if you got something for .99c and it raised back go 15 euros (like EA stuff did) it will take the latter price.

    I think that is over 3-4 years. So not too bad.

    Here you go. It is an executing jar file. All you should need to do is download and double click (Java6 installed on your machine as well).

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3144643/GenerateIpaList.jar

    Here is the source.

    And I have included the output you get (my apps).


    Tested on a Mac, but it is Java so should work fine on windows. I have no clue where the apps are kept in windows though. So someone might want to mention.

    Someone reported an error, so I modified it just now. It should display the error message in the UI if it happens. Also tells you if it didn't find any files.
