One of the big drawcards of a device like the iPhone is that it combines several gadgets into one. Consumers are price sensitive, but as you say, relative to other non-iphone-app options it has less effect. Hence why a $99 TomTom app can still be incredibly popular, even though it appears expensive compared to free ad-funded or >$10 productivity apps. Hi Steve – you make a good point here.

It's only when we assess the alternative of the $400 GPS versus the $99 application that the real value is unleashed.<br><br>Pricing is never absolute, but relative to the benefits versus other options.
