This is a very strategic way of selling their app... they get the suckers that pay 10 bucks and then they rake in more profit when they put their app on "sale"
dang i gotta get into making some apps lol..
no matter what... i'm still getting monopoly since its on "sale"

Not sure, I just feel that major developers haven't yet embraced the fact that the iTunes App Store revolves around "ringtone" apps (99 cents). To purposefully sell an application for 10 bucks, knowing that you won't make any serious profit until you lower the price might seem a little inefficient.
