Free and Bargain Apps for 12/30

In addition to all of the great Kindle Fire apps we'll be featuring today, I've got a little bit of exciting news to share. Thanks to John Harrington on Facebook, I've finally found a USB cable that'll easily connect the Fire to my computer (been using WiFi Explorer). Now all that's missing is a way to plug a thumb drive into the Fire. Anyway, this is the Oriongadgets Sync & Charge USB Cable and it's currently on sale for 73% off at $2.46!

Now let's check out some great apps, including this first one which will help you turn your Fire into a beautiful musical instrument. I'll tell you, it never fails to impress people when you play a musical instrument app on your device, and this one looks particularly easy to pick up!

Name: Air Harp

Price: 1.99 0.99
Description: You may have played air guitar before, but have you had the Air Harp experience? Now anyone, no matter their level of musical ability, can play wonderful music with the Air Harp app on the Kindle Fire. Air Harp re-imagines the classic lap harp for the digital era. The app turns your Fire into an attractive wooden instrument with 15 strings, capable of producing two octaves of gorgeous, high-quality harp tones in G major. Just use your fingers to "strum" and "pluck" the strings--it's that easy.

Next up is an impressive RPG game that won't cost you a cent. Graphics looks great and reviews on gameplay are good. Some reviews mention trouble with the download though. If you have issues, I'd recommend going into Your Apps and Devices in your account, deleting the app if the download gets stuck, and trying again. Could very well be worth the effort.
