Do not forget that a lot of the people owning iphones are actually children. Also, there is a HUGE market for apps, and to stay competitive they have to keep their prices low. Despite the low prices of the apps I have read articles about people making over $100,000 from one app. I think they are too cheap but they have to be cheap to appeal to the market.

The apps are huge with iphone! Lowering the price would be very bad because then everyone would need to lower the cost to fit demands. Everything is fine how it is. If your app is good, it will be discovered and downloaded continuously. Dont lower your price to gain attention.<br><br>Get You <a href="http://www.freecreditreport4you.org" rel="nofollow">free credit report</a> I disagree with you when you say that majority of i phone users dont even browse the app store.

I wonder how the revenue is divided, that would help me decide!
