iPad Apps and pricing

> The listings for the first batch of iPad games have popped up on iPhone analysis site [App Annie](http://www.appannie.com/blog/ipad-app-store-screenshots/), finally confirming what most of us expected—yes, some games will be more expensive on the iPad.

As I mentioned back in [January](http://jcieplinski.posterous.com/significance-of-apples-ipad-announcement-part-0 "Significance of iPad part 2"), Apple set the stage for developers to start charging a bit more for iPad software than they have been for iPhone software, as well they should, with the announcement of iWork app pricing.

It looks like developers got the message.

People will complain at first, but I suspect that they will stop groaning and pony up the extra cash when they see just how much more powerful an iPad app is, compared to an iPhone app. Any way you slice it, these apps are still going to be cheaper than desktop software.
