Using my iPhone 3G, I purchased Big5 from iTunes store, I loaded it up
and went to:

About Big Five -> Clicked "Demo" link -> Clicked "Geo Location" ->
Clicked "Show Geo Location" and I get a message that says: "This
device is not supported by Big Five".

I press OK, then the "BigFive" wouild like to use your current
location message appears, I press OK again and it does get the
coordinates.

Also clicking the Vibrate doesn't seem to work.

In my opinion $14.99 is quite expensive for this application, I think
you would get a lot more hobby programmers using it if it was less
expensive and if you marketed it towards them. Just my opinion though.

I corrected this error and also the a second issue regarding image
upload in the demo. Now everything should work fine.

The source code of the demos is now available here:

For me it did work. Sorry, I can not reproduce this error.

You are right. For the moment the price is quite expensive. But for now
this is a developer tool.

I am planning to create something like a small "store" for Big Five
applications and I am not sure if Apple will allow this to be done. If
they will allow it, I will lower the price significantly.

For the moment please see the current price as an investment in my
service and development effort I have and will put into this application
and technology.
