Microsoft’s big May event has now come and gone, and there’s plenty of interesting news out there for Windows fans who were wondering when Microsoft might respond to Google’s attack on the education market with Chrome OS. Now that Microsoft fans have been taken care of, it’s time to offer a little something to all the Apple fans out there. You’ll find 10 paid iPhone and iPad apps on sale for free in this post.
