iPhone App Pricing Limits Developers

HardYakka writes "According to this post in the Fortune blog, the iTunes app store has been a boon for users but some developers are saying the number of free and 99 cent apps make it difficult for developers to create complex, higher priced apps. Craig Hockenberry of Iconfactory says the iPhone may never get its killer app like the spreadsheet was for the Mac. If Apple does not do something, the store will be left with only ring tones and simple games. Some are suggesting that overpaid developers are the problem and the recession will soon lower the wages and costs for complex apps."

So wait, you're complaining that your costs are high and you have to compete with cheaper, inferior products? What is Apple supposed to do? Figure out how to lower your cost, or raise prices and market more. Convince people that your app is worth paying a few more dollars for. You don't even have a solution, all I hear is whining...
