Not saying it's over.. I just think it's a bit concerning that the value of apps in general (and our mobile devices, ipads are running some really advanced code and tons of stuff just like a desktop app) has been lowered significantly. We need to write more and more code and make very complex (even if specific applications) and then are expected to pretty much sell them for under $10.
I mean I understand.. nobody forces you to sell them for $10 but that's what this new market has set as a bar. We didn't have that bar before or it was much higher.
I really don't mind this personally as much as I'm writing platforms and apps I build for mobile and desktop are/will be free due to my income coming from different source but for people selling specific applications or having software companies I can see this as being a big deal.
