Simple, blind people want everything for free! Let's remember folks that we are a small group compared to the non sighted world. Either way, dev costs have to be met and of course if there is more people who could buy the app, then the price is obviously going to be cheaper as the app will pay for itself with a higher volume of sales. So the blind targeted apps are not going to sell as many mainstream apps. I am sure one or two of you have paid a few dollars for a blind friendly game. On 13 Jul 2012, at 17:54, Mike Maslo wrote:
