You are right, there was a long thread (that I now actually remember 
reading).  

It was this one:  
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/android-discuss/pricing/android-discuss/lV_NsqEcOyk/yI76MeZee5EJ

Bottom-line, definitely going with the $1.99 model, and adjusting 
appropriately.  I think the bottom for Android Apps is $.99 right?  This 
means I would never be able to discount the price if I set it at $.99.

So I will price it at $1.99, and offer discounts, now I need to decide if I 
offer a discount price during the first week, knowing that my loyal 
customers will buy early (question is reward the loyal users with an early 
price vs. get the most revenue knowing they will buy anyway).  Obviously, 
this is only a decision I can answer myself.

Thanks for the feedback.
