Question: How much US$ are you talking about? I am interested in distributing my first program soon. From all the stuff I read about palmgear.com, I am not going to let them rip me off.
I am dreaming...if I can sell my program for $5.00/piece, and sell 2 copies/day. That's $300.00/month!! That would cover all my phone, cable, movie, beer, gas, and lunch. Am I too optimistic?
