> Apple could easily raise their prices for apps by 100% and not have a significant number of users jump to Android. Apple doesn't charge for most of its apps. How would this work? Are you arguing that Apple could raise the prices of apps sold through their App Store? Isn't that the developers' choice? To me, that doesn't seem to change the market argument (IANAL, obviously). (I know Apple provides banding and international support so perhaps you're suggesting Apple might shift the bands?)
