Why bother?
Yes, quite. I'm not asking as a consumer who wants to pirate things. I'm asking as an industry observer weighing the relative attractiveness of the iPhone and Android to developers.
Yep, that's cool, I was throwing that question out to the floor, not directing it purely at yourself. I'm just puzzled as to why anyone, employed, who can afford a swanky android phone in the first place, would bother pirating apps?
I pretty much agree, however it might be worth noting that my G1 was free and costs less than £20 a month with enough free texts and minutes that I've never got near to using them all (and free Internet, of course). That's pretty damn cheap for any phone, let alone a "smart" one.
The most expensive app available (not counting stupid ones that cost $200 for a picture of a diamond) is $35, although I agree it is rare that they cost more than £2.
I'm not sure what point (if any) I'm trying to make, but, well, them's the facts
