These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

iOverwrite

Normally $1.99.

iOverwrite simply writes a large number of random files into the flash memory of your iPad, which overwrites any recently deleted data. This way, if your iPad comes into the possession of someone who can perform an un-deletion of files (like a hacker), your privacy is that much safer than if you had only cleared out your iPad.
