Something that maybe the Zune did right

As iPod touch and iPhone users stare at the wonders in the new app store, I can't help but wonder if maybe the masterminds behind the Zune may have been onto something.. Hear me out...

One of the most panned features of the Zune is the ability to "squirt" songs (up to three) to another user. They can then listen to those songs in a limited fashion (very limited). Now that the iTunes App store is open, I can't help but notice one major flaw: there's no way to preview apps before buying.

What if a friend downloaded a program they said you had to buy, and you could try it on your iPod/iPhone for a limited time first? It would be a way for app developers and Apple to generate more interest(and revenue) in good apps, and give users a "social" way to try programs before buying them.

So whattya say.. Let's join "the social."
