Can't wait :D [Cristian] Not sure. Hopefully next week. I was hoping for this week but I'd better get it all polished and set up before letting it out. So, stay tuned! :-) Great, is it gonna be a major update? and when are you releasing it?

I too have spent too much money on apps that fall short of what they promise. I don't think that would work on the web for shareware though. The App Store is successful because everyone has their phone with them all the time. They can purchase an application from anywhere. On the web you have to usually be at work or on your home computer in order to purchase a piece of shareware. Subscription services work because of the low cost as well. This is a proven and very successful distribution paradigm as proven by companies such as 37Signals with BaseCamp and Backpack. [Cristian] Good points, couldn't said it better myself. :-) I believe the App Store works only because of the low price of each application.

You don't mention the fact that quite a few iPhone software publishers also provide a 'lite' version of their application so that you can at least try out a few demo levels or can have limited interaction with it. [Cristian] Yeah, I guess that the lite version could be considered as trial version. However, not all apps have lite version. I guess that it's quite a burden to maintain two version, not say to get them through the AppStore approval process. Anyways, good point! :-) Not all the applications on the iPhone store are like that.
