I saw this last night listed as free but when I tried to download it I got an error saying it was being updated. When I checked later it was back at normal price. I checked again this morning (I check AppMiner during my morning coffee) and saw it as free again and was able to download it this time. So I was able to get it for free this morning but not sure when it went back to normal.

Totally agree on this point – it's happened to me a few times as well. What would work even better, is if Apple allowed devs to post some kind of countdown clock, so you knew exactly how long you had until the price changed back.
