Aron, One of my client wanted to develop an app for Android. He was not having Android phone so contacted his friend and ask: How many application you buy?
Answer was: I never buy a paid because I dont have screens to see and even if I buy why should I not ask for a refund after playing a game for 24 hours! One another Client was a famous author, he asked me can't any one read an entire Ebook in 24 hour? I was speechless!
