I do believe that when implemented properly by a developer, in-app purchasing can lead to a pseudo trial versions of apps. There is an implementation that I have used in an app that hasn't had anything, but good responses from users. Users are able to try out the vast majority of the features in a "trial." Even after the "trial" is over, most of the features are still accessible to users.
