App purchases
I agree with your comments. People expect a lot for free and I think that is much of the problem with smart phones. There has to be a way for people to support them selves so if no one is willing to fork over a little money to buy and app then what is the developer supposed to do? I personally usually try an app for free to get a feel for it, but then I normally will purchase it. I find it interesting that some apps do not have the option to purchase a copy. I am guessing that they either are popular enough that add revenue is worth more than the purchase price or the developer made it for them selves and decided to share.
