More productivity and functionality. I would pay the price for these things. It's great to have toys for my kids to play with during church but I need apps to help me in the business world. Apple better push for this or they will not be taken seriously in the corporate world.</p> I better start seeing some premium apps! More productivity and functionality.

Hard to separate the two.</p> I think he means that the spike may have come from all the publicity for his experiment, not necessarily from the sale. Hard to separate the two.

it is a revenue spike followed by a wash, which means the developer putting the app on sale generates extra money, and more people get to use the app.

I can only imagine that very few take a lot of time to develop - based on what I've bought and seen. Sure, some are very good and likely took some real work, but many are throw-away and the finite life is not surprising. Put some real effort into an original and well-done app, and it likely "lives" longer and makes more money. Oh, and the 99¢ vs $5 thing in my mind has become a shill for "act now - this sale won't last long" You know - the stuff ShamWow is born from. When I see that, I usually roll my eyes.</p> iPhone apps should almost be looked at like a single on the music store.
