No. One 99 cent purchase and I've not paid again since.

If that's true I will definitely not buy them. Not only are things over priced for the N900..but they really expect us to pay for the level packs when the iPhone provides an all in one package for 99c??

My only regret would be actually buying the first levelpack for 2 euros.

you should stick some coal up your *** - you're so tight that within a week you'd have a diamond

It's true.

But it's also been a top seller since it's introduction - usually 1 or 2 on the best sellers/most popular. In fact, I don't think I've seen it less than #2 in the Top 25 and Top Grossing apps in the iTunes App Store.

plain economics of scale.

0,99 x 2 000 000 >> 2+2+2(=6) x 100 000

e: and costs are probably about equal to both platforms

Not to mention on the iPhone you have alot more competiton thus you rather do things to keep your app visible in the top X at a lower price with free content rather than letting it slide into obscurity.

Even if you don't want to pay at least Rovio was nice enough to allow us to make and distribute custom levels.

Just logged into Ovi Store on my phone, went to download the update for Angry bird and it said that angry birds was installed. How do you update Ovi Store applications when they don't appear in App Manager? Sorry for the rubbish question, its been a long morning and my brain hasn't fully woken up yet.

That would be nice. Producing diamonds seems like a good business and I could use some money.

This is not about 6 euros. This is about an app being 6 times the price of the exact app on a different platform. I knew about sales and competition, and it is perfectly reasonable for a price difference..but 6 times the normal price? That's a steal.

Wouldn't you be mad if a game costing 30 euros on xbox, costs you 180 euros for ps3? The ratio is the same..and this is why I won't buy it. Not unless they reduce price for Maemo or increase price for iiphone to make the ratio a bit more..reasonable.
