The problem with telling 99 cent app devs "your app is worth more" is that in many cases, it just isn't.  Whereas 7/10 people might pick something up for the lower price, a dev may be lucky to get 1/10 at the higher price and that just doesn't add up to profitability.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kyler138]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 6:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't think it will stop all the apps showing up that are garbage.

Such as right now there are a few diffrent navigation apps I want to try but it would cost over $200 to get them all. Well I want to try them each before buying but I can't so I'm not buying any of them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 6:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, for WinMo Devs, yeah 99 cents is peanuts because there is not much demand and the hardware is lame to startwith.<br><br>Sell more apps for 99 cents rather than force the customer to pirate @ $9.99...!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[iLikeMyiPhone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 9:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[Such a fanboy you are that you don't even know what you are talking about. Windows Mobile has a huge demand, such as it is pretty close to the same market share as the iPhone. The Apple app store sucks It wouldn't be so bad if you could get refunded for apps you pay for that find out it sucks a minute later after you have downloaded it. Apple is losing sales from me because of it. There are a few apps out there I would like but I'm not going to spend the money again and get burned, as 99.99% of the apps on the store would do.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 10:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[This means less wasted money by the customer and dev will put out better apps....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[big_psirex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 11:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA["Lame" hardware ??<br>Higher res screens, higher res cameras, SD cards, better Bluetooth implementation, FM receivers, mutli-band radios, battery change etc etc ... yeah, I can see how you would make a comment like that <br><br>As for demand, last time I checked Handango was doing pretty good: 140k+ apps, more than 100Mio downloads ....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MaxHeadroom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 12:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[Winmo already has a bad rep (most of it is deserved). They are shooting themselves in the foot. I don't like iphones but their PR machine has already set the standard. Good luck but it sounds like they are going to steer potential clients to Apple and their .99 store (crap or not). <br><br>I can respect them telling their devs that they're worth more but the 2.99 strategy is a terrible one that will not prosper. They are trying to reinvent a flat tire. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Achilles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 3:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[Resistive touchscreen, non TFT touchscreen (can't see sh!t outside), crappy OS with poor hardware implementation and memory usage, no (real) 3D acceleration, proprietary headphone jacks on most of them, etc. etc. etc.  So yes, lame hardware.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Red]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2009 3:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft tells WinMo devs they're beautiful, worth more than 99 cents]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/20/microsoft-tells-winmo-devs-theyre-beautiful-worth-more-than-99/</guid><description><![CDATA[I personally prefer the Resistive touchscreen<br>I can see my diamond outside fine?<br>crappy os -> opinion <br>you think the TP2 has poor hardware implementation?<br>bad memory usage?
