90% of $1 apps are crap. So you have to spend $10 to get one good app.

People are not agonizing over just $1; they're agonizing over having to spend $1 ten times and the time to download and evaluate ten apps to find a good one.

well, there are online reviews and forums posts about most semi-popular to popular apps, but spending the time versus paying $1...

Part of the reason this whole thing took so long in the first place was that it had to be heated up and cooled down again.
