I don't mean to be rude but...

Tell me why I should keep developing iPhone apps?

Ten thousand people downloaded my app while it was free for a couple of days. Nearly ten thousand people downloaded the free update, which means most people thought it was good enough to keep on their phones.

At least 3,000 people have downloaded the lite version so far.

Sounds pretty good right?

Yet, not enough people have downloaded the paid version for me to make a penny. Nothing. I don't think I'm greedy, but folks, I can't do this for free forever.

CALL to developers:

Stop giving away your stuff for free. You worked hard on it, it's worth something!

CALL to customers:

Stop expecting something for nothing.

CALL to Apple:

Set the minimum price tier in the app store to 99 cents. This is not a hardship to anybody who bought an iPhone.

Have at it folks, let the debate begin!
