No, I go with the expectation of getting greater value for my money.
hmm, i go to Walmart to save money. I don't think anyone has every gone into the apple store with the expectations of saving money.
Oh... you better believe it... :-)
There was a tech article that I posted a while back that said Microsoft was trying to get developers over to its "store" and develop there and charge more money that the developers are at the Applie iPhone store because it said the apps were too cheapthere and that the developers needed to make more money... LOL...
No really, they said that... :-)
So, right off the bat, we see that the apps are cheaper at the Apple iPhone store and developers "compete" with each other there.
On the other hand, if we listen to Microsoft and the way they want to do their store, they want applications for around $25 when the Apple iPhone store is giving away a ton of free apps and so many others for $1 and $2 and so on...
AND, when I consider how much money I've saved on no viruses and not having to fix stuff there on the Macintosh for what amounts to over 100,000 or more on the Windows platform -- I see a real big savings there. Heck, the anti-virus companies are "starving to death" trying to sell Macintosh users their anti-virus programs.
And furthermore, when I look at the $99 price tag on the iPhone, I figure that someone who can't do the $99 for a phone probably doesn't need one anyway, because that's nothing in this market that the iPhone is in.
Nope, I see a lot of saving of money here with the iPhone... for the consumers...
