In his latest comedy show, Jerry Seinfeld has a segment on consumer entitlement. Specifically, he talks about how when someone goes into a Starbucks and buys a venti latte and walks down the street - the sense of superiority you can sense from someone merely holding out this branded styrofoam cup. And, how when these coffee holders are crossing the street at a red light, how they may pause just the briefest moment and pass judgement on you, sitting in your car. I feel App Store buyers (even if it is a free app) share the same sense of consumer entitlement - to pass judgment on your app. Remember, the major difference between someone technical and non-technical is that the non-technical person does not care or does not appreciate or does not know how hard it is to actually create an app (recent App Store policy changes notwithstanding). Among certain groups of iPhone users, they only care if app helps in making them look cool or entertains them from daily monotones.
