Ditto, ditto, ditto!

If we want better apps, we need to become the type of community that supports the folks who make the apps.

its the same for music and gaming just as droid market, if the dev deserves the money, if you use his product, do something to return the favor. if you cant afford to buy apps deal with adds, if he can get revenue thats more money and time he can put twords bettering his apps or release a new one.
