Daring Fireball Linked List: Regarding the Pricing of the Wolfram Alpha iPhone App
Gruber on the new $50 Wolfram Alpha iPhone app:
“I haven’t bought it, but I’m glad they’ve set the price high. There’s widespread consensus that the current race-to-the-bottom in App Store pricing discourages the development of deep, significant applications. If all anyone is buying are quick-hit apps, then all anyone will make are quick-hit apps.”
