Aren’t we all forgetting about inflation? The treasury has to go print a trillion dollars we don’t have to fund the new bailout plan. Soon $200 will be the price of a movie ticket or an ice cream cone! :-)

I think the $200 app is certainly possible for a subset of users. Imagine a business contracts with a company to build a construction job site application that ties to their enterprise. I am sure the mobile module could easily be worth a one time $200 fee instead of a $10 monthly fee. In this way the company absorbs a one time cost. It is very possible for the right applications but most likely they won’t be for general consumption.

Finally if you wanted to sell something for more you could do it outside the market distribution model.

Spencer – I see where you’re going “its not totally open/free to do what you want” thing, but come on, you’re asking for NO LIMIT? and you’re asking for no one to ruin the good Android name?

so what happens when you see apps on the market for $1,000, and then see all the blog posts online bashing the market and $1,000 apps that don’t do anything. See what happens to the Android name then

Who in their right mind would pay $200 bucks for a cell phone app. You could buy a netbook with a full blown OS for that price. Its not like your going to see full blown AutoCAD or Photoshop on Android.
