Well .... yes AND no. Sure I will pay for a great app. Like SplashID. It provides unique capabilities not usually found on smartphones. Absolutely not!! I will never pay for something that should be included by default. That is just plain stupid guys!! Paying for ringtones? Jailbreaking to add new SMS tones? then MMS? Geeze, the list goes on and on and on. If Apple really wanted complete control, they would provide what should be included by deafult --- then there wouold be no reason to go 'outside the box'. Pay more?? Well …. yes AND no.

This is the American dream; make what you want, and sell it for whatever you want to! The $0.99 apps make more advanced developers work harder to please the consumer.... This is the same reason why the iPhone went down in price, AND the same reason why the XBox 360 is half the price of the PS3! It's not like Microsoft is selling a crapgadget. They're working harder than others to make the product available to more people, while keeping the quality. In my opinion, $0.99 apps are the best things that could ever happen to the AppStore. Not to mention all the young teens with an iPod touch that aren't old enough to get a job, so they have to do odd chores around the house to get a few bucks.... $0.99 makes sense for some apps, and, for some, it doesn't make sense. What about the free apps like Aurora Feint: the Beginning? That was a huge hit, and it took tons of effort to make, I'm sure. The AppStore's workin' just fine. Besides, it's digital games, and digital games don't cost money to mass produce, and for every app, the developer gets a whopping %70. Hey, Craig, I actually like a lot of the crapware on the AppStore. I mean, have you ever played simStapler or Cowbell? Craig H. should get over it!
