Hmm, getting me to buy a mobile app for $1 is really hard. I consider most of them time wasting toys.

On the other hand I'm perfectly happy to pay $15/month for a useful web service.

And on the desktop I have no problem with paying $50+ for serious software.

I guess mobile has (to me at least) that shovel ware image.

I agree. My point is that as hard as it is to get me to buy an app for $1, getting me to buy software for $1 elsewhere is just impossible. I won't likely subscribe to a service for $1/mo, either (though I might subscribe for $12/year). Really low prices in an app store make me think "this might be crappy". Really low prices elsewhere make me think "this is probably malware".
