This obviously depends on the app, but my gut instinct says that the mobile app pricing model is not going work for desktop software. I buy a lot of niche tools, so I'm happy to pay the $20-$80 it costs to get a good app. For me, this low cost, high volume business is best reserved for throwaway apps and service-based businesses.
