There was an nice article posted on someone's blog and previously mentioned in the groups here, I think. The content was about a Iphone paid app which becomes successful ONLY after change it from paid to free and then back to Paid. Read that and get some inspiration there ;)
I think you should get more worried about that the one available to the judges being eventually distributed on alternative sites for free. Actually, I think it is viable to build a site for exactly that purpose and it may not violate any rules/laws. A database of apks submitted by judges after they download and review it for ADC2......Anyone building one? I am interested on that.
