I'm paying for Gravity simply because I believe it's the best Twitter application made for any mobile OS. Looking forward to future S60 software from this developer.

presumably the route to market isn't only their website? If it is, then they've got a much bigger problem than the price point. The site, for anyone other than a total geek, is a train wreck…

I've used photo software for years, called Graphic Converter. The developer has always been very understanding through my OS/hardware upgrade trials, and has never quibbled about new licences for new machines. As a result, I have happily purchased every proper upgrade (as opposed to patch) to the app – 3 times now I think in 8 years.

To the dweebs who think everything should be free – you gets what you pays for.

When I change handset I just email an explanation as to why I need a new licence to Ole and he provides a new registration. If you are already registered the latest updates can be downloaded from http://support.mobileways.de/

Well done.
All this “it should cost less” moaning seems to be because competiton for iFart apps on Apples store has driven the *headline* average cost downwards, but the apple market is different. Part of the Apple culture is to buy applications, and i think this is one of the major contributors to the success of the App Store.

Also, i remember reading a comment recently (i think on twitter) that moving to a new handset would not involve a cost (you needed to email him directly ?), so the tying to IMEI is not such a big thing.

+1 for Gravity…. same price as a bottle of wine or a few beers. Like Tim says, good software is worth something.

I do like dabr though: simple, functional, and free.

Well argued and crafted piece.

I was not going to buy the full priced version of Gravity – but after reading this – I think that I shall!!

Well done Ewan (doing your bit for the Symbian software developers of this planet).

However – I do think that pricing the app at a third of the price would lead to many more than three times the sales!

I've been using Ole's software for the last 6 years at least, and it has always been well written. But creating any Symbian application is costly in time and money. He has to afford to create the apps, he can't live on thin air.

Three years ago he just stopped developing commercial apps and after waiting for a Symbian 9.x version of Remote I eventually had to buy an inferior product. But he's come back with an immensely strong update to RemotePro and now a great Twitter client. We all need to support small developers otherwise their skills and innovation will just vanish. With EMCC having just gone bust the last thing we need in the Symbian space is for another developer to disappear.
