How much are you willing to pay for iPhone Apps?

That would be cool if we had some type of office productivity tool. I could find Excel or Numbers very useful on the iPhone. These are massive applications, so lets see if anyone will try to make some type of office suite for it. This will truly please enterprises, allowing their workers to edit docs on the fly.

Is this a family site? I'm kidding, of course!

If DataViz brought full MS Office functionality OR if Apple brought full iWork functionality to the iPhone, I'd be willing to pony-up a lot more than $8.00! I'd love to see iWorks and BT keyboard support!

My $0.02,

DataViz is rumored to be playing with iPhone development ideas... I am keeping my fingers crossed for Docs to Go: iPhone Edition. I will honestly say that I don't need document editing/creation software often, but when I do, I HATE not having it.

From a MacRumors article about App pricing:

While Apple does give a wide range of pricing options, pricing is restricted to between $0.99 to $999.99 with increments ranging of $1 to $100 depending on relative price differences. Alternatively, applications can also be given away for free. Only a handful of developers have publicly announced specific prices for their iPhone applications, but it appears iPhone games are starting to settle around $9.99.

Games aren't all the useful. If it is a useful killer app. $25 is what I'd expect to pay. If documents to go makes a app, it will be anywhere from $30 -90. It sounds like some posters aren't from the smartphone world. Software ain't free.

$999.99 for an App? What is that App going to do? Photoshop on the iPhone?

Going to have to do more than that.

I'm guessing there will not be an app that expensive.

It is just there for the sake of being there. It's not like you are ever going to see a $999 app...

Free-$5 for me.
It would have to be a really good app I'd use daily to justify anything more expensive than that.

Don't ever switch to a BlackBerry... The prices for some of its apps would have you crapping yourself.

Who would want a Blackberry? My biggest gripe with those devices is the user interface. It is definitely not intuitive like the iPhone is.

The Blackberry Bold is close, but still a year or two behind the iPhone's interface.

The BlackBerry interface is the worst case of lipstick on a pig I have personally used. At least with Windows Mobile you can skin the UI to look and act completely different... With BlackBerry you are pretty much stuck with a handful of themes, and regardless of theme, they all hide the same exact menu driven interface.

I say this and I am a BlackBerry fan that has been using them for a good amount of time.
