This is the beauty of free market: the consumer wins as competition inevitably drags prices down.
I am only a developer 8 hours a day, the remaining non-sleeping 8 I am a consumer and I love AppStore prices.
The same happened to airfare in recent years: ticket prices used to cost fortune and everyone thought it had to be like that. Now that I can fly around Europe for peanuts I love it.
At the same time even the cheapest airlines' pilots earn shitload of money so I don't see this as a problem.
Raise your hand everyone who didn't think computer games were overpriced over the last 10 years.
All AppStore revealed is that you can pay $6 instead $40 and they still make a killing.BTW, plenty of AppStore apps are on sale now, ie. all of EA catalogue goes for $0.99 if anyone is interested. LonelyPlanet city guides for lots of Euro cities are free for a few days.
SketchBook Pro for both iPhone and iPad are on sale too.
