iBeer vs iPint: it hard breaststroke

iBeer is one of those applications for iPhone and iPod touch that have absolutely no interest, and is therefore totally indispensable: it is as its name indicates a simulator half, displaying on the screen of the iPhone and iPod touch a refreshing lager. Better still, thanks to the accelerometer can be the brew, shake (and create foam), drinking (virtually, alas) or activate a "rot". The great class.

Although sold 2.39 euros, application, developed by Hottrix, is a great success - unfortunately, it drew the attention of brewer Coors, who proposed iPint, a clone of iBeer, but free!

Hottrix Apple called the removal of the concurrent application, which was obtained ... but only in the USA! The rest of the world can enjoy a free beer on its iPhone.

The developer has decided to lodge a complaint against Coors, and seeks damages of $ 12.5 million (!) For copyright infringement ... The worst is that the history of beer could make the fortune of Hottrix! Like what, beer is not a big flop: it can also be enriched.
