Your missing my point If every commercial app is going to be £3 then i am going to be paying a lot of extra cash a month for apps. As i have said i have downloaded 15 apps pretty much the first night getting the phone. If there were all were all £3 then i would not have bothered.


To put it in perspective i pay 45 a month on a contract phone with vodaphone, i like many i would imagine could not afford the £400 outright. I use my phone a lot for a stupid amount of calls and texts.
Those 15 apps alone would have cost the same as my price plan. effectively making my monthly phone cost £90 a month.

I can here you saying well get less apps. wella gain this brings me to my point will people shy away from commercial apps because they are too expensive. if this is the case will commercial developers shy away from the device as no one is buying their overpriced apps

Angry birds is good dont get my wrong i really like it but i have spent way more time playing zelda on VGBA then i ever will angry birds.

VGBA is free and has a vast amount of games for it.

Angry Birds had its first part free which was great i finished it on a train journey (not all stars). the second half is now £3 and its not even the complete game.

The reason i compared the price to the Iphone is because its the same game! It could have been any OS not just the iphone. Yes there are costs in porting this over but i have never known Sony or Xbox games developers to charge the customer extra when porting a game.

When Bioshock was released on the PS3 do you really think it would have sold the same level if they charged the customer extra. "im sorry this was originally for the xbox and its costing us extra to SELL you the game, so we are going to make you pay the difference"
