You are tied to relying on their platform to tell you how much money you spent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's a great solution when it's free but free always has strings in one form or another.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you want a truly independent view on what's happening with your mobile content come over and check out &lt;a href="http://www.Amethon.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.Amethon.com&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Regards,&lt;br&gt;Dean Collins&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.Amethon.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.Amethon.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:Dean.Collins@Amethon.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Dean.Collins@Amethon.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Phone: +1 646-240-4043</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">dean collins</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 May 2008 21:54:00 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
