In case you missed it, the MacHeist 3 bundle has been released. It’s really great this year; I’ve already purchased mine.

There are 12 apps in the bundle (three of them have not been unlocked, since the number of bundles sold has not reached the required number; but based on past years, it is all but certain that all apps will be unlocked). Even without the unlocked apps, it’s a great deal.

For a mere $39, you get:

• iSale ($40 retail), for creating eBay ad pages
• Picturesque ($35 retail) for quick photo effects
• SousChef ($30 retail) for managing recipes
• PhoneView ($20 retail) for manipulating/accessing your iPhone/iPod Touch data
• LittleSnapper ($40 retail) for managing screen captures
• Acorn ($50 retail) for simple photo editing
• Kinemac ($299 retail!) for 3D design and animation
• WireTap Studio ($69 detail) for advanced audio recording/capture
• World of Goo ($20 retail) for fun

If/when all the apps are unlocked, you will also get (at no extra charge):

• BoinxTV ($199 retail) for easy “TV studio” production
• The Hit List ($50 retail) for to-do list management
• Espresso ($80 retail) for web design

There are videos and descriptions for all these apps on the MacHeist website.

The most interesting apps in the list, in my view, are Picturesque, PhoneView, Kinemac, WireTap Studio, and BoinxTV. These five apps alone have a combined retail value of about $622. All for $39!

You also get a free app called EventBox just for visiting the page. It’s an interesting little app that pulls updates from various social networking sites.

I already have apps equivalent to iSale (GarageSale), Acorn (Photoshop/Pixelmator), The Hit List (OmniFocus), and Espresso (Coda). I’m not sure what I will do with those licenses. But even considering that I may not use all the apps, the bundle is a steal.
