[A83] Re: apps
The reason there is a shortage, it that TI thought they could make big
bucks from it, by selling SDK's. You need to pay 100 bucks initially, in
order to make three apps, after that, they appear to be cheaper, but
still, it costs money. Most of the TI-Community is still going to
school, and can as such not really afford it.
From what I understood, Detached Solutions had the advantage of beta
testing the SDK, and as a result, they could get those allication rights
at a (correct me it i'm wrong) lower, or even no price. This has been
also a great advantage to all 83+ users (mirageos, calcsys, the contest...).
I wonder if TI actually thought there were major companies who would
want to make comercial apps :) additionally I wonder why they made the
educational sdk so high priced.
