The problem is that it gives their apps great visibility in a very crowded market _which the app would not have had if they charged for it from the beginning._ It's worth reading about the perceived problems with the iPhone app store to get some feel for what this policy and the 24-hour return policy are meant to avoid. I don't see anything stopping a developer from noting that the paid app is a version of the free app, and suggesting potential buyers look at the reviews of the free app. Steve -- Yes, Chinese is easy if people speak slowly to you, in proper tones and without an accent.
