Well, about Michal's point: I agree it'll be hard on Sailfish. I think that the best measure against so-called "piracy" is a dynamic price changing possibility as in AppStore as previously said.
But I won't agree about $650 - not everyone can buy first-minute device. And take it in account that in some countries (like Poland) minimal pay is $400. New N900 is half of that in Poland. And if you'd like to expand to countries like Uzbekistan, Kazachstan, Ukraine, Belarus, ... than $1 is a lot in these countries. Don't make the mistake HP/Palm did: assuming that the world ends on EU borders (in their case it was East and West Coast of the US) The blacklisting might have detrimental effect on sales altogether - the person won't be able to buy apps even if they change their mind, if they want to undo their deeds - they won't be able to do it. What happens if someone gets blacklisted from the Harbor? -- Marcin 2013/11/9 Martin Kolman <martin.kol...@gmail.com> > 8.11.2013 23:40, Attila Csipa: > > On 08-Nov-13 13:48, Michal Jerz wrote: >> >>> So it is actually a matter of *ALTERNATIVE COST*.
