Ridiculous. Lowering prices increases your market. I guarantee you I could sell 30 copies of a knfb mobile app for IPhone at $100, probably to the tune of 10 a month when it first comes out. Where-as even if I were ever a simbian user which I wasn't, I wouldn't even be able to justify the original knfb for simbian myself and I can write it off as a work expense on my income tax. At $100 it would be no question.
It's just a different model. In stead of charging a grand and selling it to 10 people, you charge a hundred and sell it to 100 people. Simple. As long as it does what the brochure says it does.
