Re: WM App Store help lower app prices?

The only way I think the prices will drop is if Microsoft pushes this Marketplace hardcore. The reason the apps for the iTurd are so cheap is because once you develop the app and submit it you have a group of consumers with no other way to get the app. Yeah you can jailbreak the phone but the average user likes the ease of going to the onlinestore and clicking "buy". If I created an app and the only way to make money was to advertise it myself and word of mouth I would charge a premium. Now if I had tens of thousands of potential buyers that were chained to the only "legal" source to purchase I could drop my price. My .02
