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.
