If you dont like the price, then dont buy it. There are plenty of free apps out there. For the apps that arent free, they are usually one-of-a-kind apps, and the developer has every right to charge for them.

I don't see prices as being too high. Most are pretty reasonable in my opinion. If you find an app that does exactly what you need, isn't it worth a few dollars? Granted, there are some apps, LogMeIn Ignition at $30, for example, that make me take a step back and wonder, but overall I have no complaints. If a game or utility is good, I have no problem forking over a few bucks. And for apps like ROM Manager, Root Explorer and Titanium backup...well, they're just so dang indispensable if you have a rooted phone that you're crazy not to buy the full versions.

And after coming from a BlackBerry, Android app prices don't really faze me.
