Most apps run from .99 to a few dollars, yes there are games and other apps that are 10, 20+

I guess I don't mind paying a bit for useful apps. Being a software developer I guess I see that I like to get paid for my work. And to be fair, I'm not an open source guy.

And having used both for some time, my experience of general day to day use for what I need it for still goes with the iPhone. Everyone will want different things and thus different devices may suit them better.
