Is there any evidence they've "got used to it"?
People got used to paying for ringtones, and then the market pretty much disappeared.
Part of me thinks the app store model is a short term fad.
- chc 16y agoRingtones were pretty much always a worthless ripoff. There might be particular market segments in the app store that will die off (I don't know, maybe book apps will be superseded by ebooks), but the App Store as a whole offers a lot of value and convenience, and the "fad" for those things has been going strong for hundreds of years now.
