Yes, it depends on the software, and it depends on the
sales model. If you are selling a commercial product
(only), 100% of the downloads are sales. If you are
selling shareware, it is way less. My personal
experience at PalmGear with Palm OS shareware games
(or crippleware, if you like) has been:
item % of D/Ls
sold
===== =====
gameA 10.2%
gameB 2.4%
gameC 2.2%
IMHO gameB is the highest quality. GameA is very very
simple. I believe that the percentage is highest with
gameA because it is very inexpensive.
