Yeah, but those will be weeded out of the popular app channels. The real benefit here is the ability to upsell -- now, I don't have to download a free app, decide I like it, and download a completely different app; I can just buy the license in-app and I'm set. Same with games: there are lots of games I wouldn't have on my phone if they hadn't been free. I rarely play most of them, but the few I do I'd probably gladly pay for a few extra levels after I've exhausted the free content. Plus all the opportunities for free ebook applications. I love Stanza (free ebook reader with repositories of free or non-free books), but I've never bought a book from their store because it seems so complicated. All in all, anything that removes restrictions from the App Store is probably a good thing.
