Has anyone else noticed

that now that the iPad has caught on so strongly and people seem to have accepted the App Store as a regular place to find their apps, the apps that are priced from $19.99 to $49.99 are starting to show up, and with alarming frequency? Apps used to be from $0.99 to $4.99, which made them very attractive. Now that people are used to clicking 'Buy" and letting the computer automatically grab the $ from their credit card, the people who make big $ off of software are posting them as apps. The App Store is getting a bit scary.

Anyway, 90% of the apps are still games.
