Smithfield developer’s iPhone application a hit

SMITHFIELD – A local company’s voice-recorder software has become one of the biggest hits in Apple Inc.’s new online store that sells applications for the iPhone 3G.
QuickVoice, a voice-recorder program created by the software developer nFinity Inc., has ranked as high as No. 19 on the list of the most popular applications for sale in the company’s Apple store.
Although Apple does not break out specific sales figures for its online stores, QuickVoice’s high ranking means the application has been purchased by thousands of customers since the store went live on July 10, the day before the new iPhone was released in stores.
The QuickVoice program was originally coupled with another program and priced at $9.99, but after watching the store’s early sales response, nFinity dropped the two-program deal and slashed the price to $1.99 – and sales surged. &#8226
