I wonder what percentage of app developers are really that sensitive to app sales. Ad-supported and underpants gnome supported seem to be bigger categories. Users directly paying for mobile apps is like users directly paying for web apps, a smallish part of the overall game. IMO, the bones of the business case (beyond the sheer number of these devices) is here: “for a vast number of people in a vast number of countries, the cheap handset will be the first screen, and the only screen.” If you want to show these people what movies are playing, sell them flights, let them share videos, shop online, etc. Targeting these “low end” machines is the way to do it. App sales are a small part of the overall picture.
