Ah well, there is that old maxim. Here's hoping those low expectations do always get exceeded for you Dragos.

One wise guy was saying: Expect nothing. Everything that comes will look like a bonus.

so in iphone app terms, expect 0 sales. few will look like a lot more 🙂

Ouch – that seems a slightly pessimistic view 🙂

I don't even know the name of an app to give you – see my point in the post about how that was left out of the email approach.

– my application is not worth what I think it is
– there are 100k other apps. My app is one of them. Chances are almost 0 that it will get noticed
– while I worked a lot on it, nobody cares
– while I think people will buy it, they will not
– while I think reviewers will be impressed they will not

Murphy's laws for iPhone developers:
If it can crash, it will.
The more you advertise an app, the less you sell.
If you think it is a great app, it is not. If you think it is a lousy app, it is.

🙂
