Thank god I didn't jump a couple years ago and rather stuck to my day job. This has become a race to the bottom, just like J2ME back in the day. <reality check>San Francisco, November 2010. The single family house next door in the Sunset is on the block for $899K.</reality check> To me, this immediately puts in perspective where the independent app developer model goes, especially for niche products. Someone's making money, carriers, manufacturers, all happily leveraging apps available on their platforms, but it's not your average independent developer.

If it's not worth $10 (or more), then neither the developer nor the users have a play at the particular app in the mobile space. You're not going to squeeze $5-a- pop users out of it that wouldn't complain either. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
