Kudos: PDAMill Thinks It Should Cost Just As Little To Destroy Snails On WinMo As It Does On iPhone
One of the biggest complaints I have heard about the Windows Mobile community lately is the price of the apps. The problem here is not that Windows Mobile apps cost any more than they ever have, but that a certain other platform costs significantly less. To be more clear, apps on the iPhone typically cost under $5, with only a select few daring to charge $10 or more. Meanwhile, most Windows Mobile apps continue to see price points starting around $15 and going as high as $50 in some cases.
While this disparity can be explained, I have a real problem when there is a significant difference in price for the exact same app or game for the two platforms. Many common apps cost half as much (or less) on the iPhone as the same app would cost on Windows Mobile. Well, enter PDAMill, which has long been one of my favorite game developers. Apparently, they see the injustice of this arrangement as well. That is why they have reduced the price of all of their games to match the prices in the iTunes App Store. That means most of their extensive library costs only $0.99 to $2.99. You just can’t do any better than that. I would hurry over to www.pdamill.com before the wise up and change their minds.

I have to give props to pdamill for this. They are not entitled to match prices. What the average user does not realize is that it costs more to start developing applications for Windows Mobile considering you usually have to become a MSDN member and buy Visual Studio. Add onto that the fact that sites like Handango fleece developers for 50% profit while Apple only takes 30% and that can make up the cost difference for many of the apps.
So while I applaud pdamill, I hope developers are not being pressured to do this across the board just because the pricing structure on the iPhone apps were broken from the start. Of course, I’m the type of person that will pass up a $0.99 app on the App Store, yet turn around and spend $40 for something for my Nokia E71.
