But they have to either have a name or strong justification that makes it seem "worth it" to the consumer. And if you or other have already released very similar products, or products of a similar level of perceived importance and/or complexity at $.99, making that case to the consumer is difficult. Keep in mind that American almost never pay a premium for quality. Those markets are very, very small. The bulk of the population buys the cheapest possible crap at WalMart. -- It's always darkest just before you are eaten by a grue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
