Although I am agree with this, however soo many developer are abusing this to the point where I think it is ridicilous. Soo many app now give you push notification when the app has not been used for a while and I think that's just as bad as spamming.
You are correct. There are a lot of kid apps with iAP that offer great value such as additional levels etc. I purchased some my self. It's the smurfberry kind of iAP that I don't like.
I believe windows phone market place and android allow you to do some sort of trial but I don't think you can do that in apple app store. I'm not 100% sure about this so please correct me if I am wrong.
I develop an educational app geared for kids and just like some of the people here. I dislike ads, in app purchase, external link etc so I made sure that my app doesn't have any of those and price it at $0.99. I keep updating it based on user feedback to make the app better.
It's good to read that there are a lot of parent here that say they won't purchase any app with ads and/or inapp purchases for their kids but I think majority of the people don't care.
Most of the top 15 apps in my app category/subject are free with ads and/or in app purchases. They can afford to make it free because they make money from ads/in-app purchases and because they're free they get a lot more download that keeps their ranking higher burying app like mine.
It's hard to compete in that kind of condition but I for now, I can't see my self using ads/in-app purchases in any of my app. I will try to compete by bringing better qualities apps.
Just out of curiosity, what is it that you think is complex using phonegap build? I've used it before and I thought it was very simple. I was even able to walk our receptionist over the phone on how to generate new build for android from our ios build using phonegap build. Thanks. I am also interested in using command line tools though. Thanks.
I can definetely relate to the OP. The Indonesian(my native language) language doesn't really use gender specific either. That was one of the biggest problem I had when I moved to the US.
Can you please elaborate more on that. I am curious. I developed for iOS and android. I am a .net developer and I'm about to port my code to wp7. I was hoping that it will be a lot easier compare to the other 2 since I use visual studio and .net on daily basis. Am I mistaken here?
I found the article that I was referring too. It's not required but there will be prompt for it.

I was under the impression that Ice Cream Sandwich will require user to enter the credit card and associate it with their gmail account to activate the device? Is that true? I remember reading something about this.
I was at a 6-7 years old soccer team party and 7 of the 11 dads (including me) were sitting looking at their phone for half of the time.
I found video to be every effective teaching tool for programming. I don't know why, but I can read something 10 times and didn't get it but If I see video covering the same material it clicks.
The only thing I don't like about video is that I can't do search for it. Sometime they show you a piece of code and you don't remember exactly where, you can't easily go to that part of the video.
If I have to guess, I would guess cost is too high to have rackspace managed dedicated server. I've been working with rackspace's managed dedicated for 10 years. They are pricey but for a small shop where you dont have dedicated network/hardware guy. It's worth every penny. 99% I called their fanatic support, I hear human voice after 1 ring.
Now their cloud support is different story.
do you have contact info i can reach you at so we can take this off line
xiaoma, I was really interested in smart tots sdk and really want to implemented in my app but I was really having difficulty in trying to find out what the sdk does. I created an account, downloaded the sdk, looked around and I couldn't figure out what it does or how some of the stuff will show up in my app. Because of that I didn't follow thru.
