Question to all the developers out there. SDK

[smackjack]

When iPhone 2.0 i released, will release your apps for free, or are you out for the big money?

If they have merit ... then why not make them payware ?

A lot of these developers work their asses off ... they deserve some cash.

[smellslikepork]

if the app is useful to me I would gladly pay.

Well, I think are modding world will still exist. Free apps and what not.
But,via the SDK and iTunes, it costs them $99 USD to have any apps available for download. So I am sure they will want to make that up in selling the app for money.

Its free if you don't want to charge for it.

+1. The problem i keep thinking of is how many duplicate programs will be developed, with each developer thinking he'll make his $99 back? We already saw a true AIM chat program during the keynote.

I'll charge but try to be reasonable...

And it shouldn't be hard to make the $99 back if you develop more than one app - it is a one time fee.

And I'll never make back the money spent on Visual Studio professional for Windows Mobile development -and I didn't upgrade to 2008 pro due to cost.

Apple is very reasonable.

So now Installer and Cydia will be history? Along with free third party apps? =(

Some things that can't be done with the SDK that I've seen:
