App Store cheats?

I like the iPhone App Store. I mean I really love all the different kinds of cool apps available 24×7 on my iPhone which I can install over edge or wi-fi anytime I want.
It takes real hard courage to go ahead and buy any app from the app store. Mainly because we (Indians) are so much used to free software that we take it for granted. The thought of buying software just brings LOL to our minds.
The app store changed all this. I saw people in India actually buying these apps! Forget everyone else, even I went ahead and bought a couple of .99$ and 1.99$ apps. Due to the sucky conversion rate to INR, they do cost us little more than they should. But still, I buy them.
After reading a lot of positive reviews, I gathered a lot of courage to buy the Moto Chaser game @ 5.99$. The game lived up to my expectations. You can read my review here .
But today after reading the news that the game’s price was reduced to .99$, I feel cheated. I mean lowering the app’s price for a few days might be a good marketing gimmick, but it fucks up the courage to buy new apps. I mean after seeing this, I am not gonna buy any app right away. I will probably wait for the developer’s birthday or any other stupid reason for the price to go down and then buy it.
Apple should do something about this, else people will stop buying the apps.

ot sure it will stick with me, since without background apps on the iPhone you have to active the app to update your location, but it's a really interesting development

At the moment, developers are still trying to work out how to price their apps in the App store.
Check out this game though, it might make you change your mind http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/...

Excellent point. It might be a good marketing strategy, but the developers have also go to think about the customers who bought the application previously. This has happened to me before although in a different type of situation. But it does make you feel cheated and you didn't get your money's worth.
