Matt Roberts told TV station San Diego 6 he waited 26 hours to be the first of the lucky nine customers who got the device at a $148 discount as part of grand opening celebration for a 99¢ Only Store. The eight guys behind him eyed each other  for stamina; if none dropped out after the overnight vigil, the rest of the folks in the parking lot got scooters, DVDs and computer mice for a buck. If you’ve got the staying power and are short on cash, check out the openings of 99¢ Only Stores or follow their Twitter feed , they’ve been running the iPod scheme to celebrate new stores for months now. Wonder if people would do that for a Zune… Via San Diego 6 This article is copyright Cultomedia Corp .

How to sell an iPhone app for $9.99

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Odds and ends , Apple , Developer , iPhone , App Store , iPod touch Marco over on the Instapaper blog (which, of course, is the blog of the app Instapaper ), posted a really interesting commentary recently on a subject we’ve been following since the beginning: App Store pricing . As we’ve said before, it’s a strange thing — developers want higher prices so that they can put more effort into making iPhone apps better. But customers have a perception already that anything above $5 in the App Store just isn’t worth it . So Marco offers his take: he’s been selling an app in the store for $9.99, and it’s going just fine. He has tips for how developers can sell their own apps for a higher price, and he settles on some good compromises for everybody: deliver a real value with your app (as economists know, an app is worth what people are wiling to pay for it, so if you produce an app that is worth $10, people will happily spend that much). Respect yourself as a developer, and don’t cower to cheapskates (some people won’t be happy with anything, even when it’s free). And perhaps most importantly: offer a free version . That last one may be the key — our own Michael Rose was sold on Instapaper only when he tried it out. More and more, I’m thinking that it was a major mistake on Apple’s part not to allow developers to easily offer demos and upgrades in the same app — people are willing to spend money on an app that’s worth it, but not if they aren’t sure, and trying it goes a long way to making sure. I’m not in favor of app store developers banding together to raise prices , but Marco is right: if you make an app that’s worth $10 and put it on the App Store for $9.99 (with an easy way to demo it out), people will come and buy it.
