In this comment piece, 'Should Gravity come down?', James Whatley shares his thoughts on mobile application prices. Have on-device stores, such as iPhone's App Store and Android's Marketplace, changed consumer's perception of the pricing of mobile applications? What constitutes reasonable value? Read our first Whatley Wednesday, then share your thoughts in the comments thread.

"So this week saw the long-awaited release of Gravity, the S60 Twitter app to end all Twitter apps. Brilliant.

I, like many others, had heard a lot about this mystical application from all manner of sources; with many of my friends and peers being on the early beta, the reports that came back were very good indeed.

In fact, my first experience of Gravity was when my good friend Jonathan Greene made a surprise appearance at the London’s Social Media Cafe and gave me a demo in person."

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome James (a.k.a. Whatley or Whatleydude) to All About Symbian. We've long admired his contributions elsewhere in the mobile and tech sphere, and are very pleased to have him contributing to the site. We are also keeping a close watch on The Really Mobile Project, which we suspect involves James and AAS friends Dan Lane and Ben Smith.

'Whatley Wednesday' was a semi-regular feature on Mobile Industry Review and earlier pieces can now be found over on whatleydude.com.

We will be covering Twitter and Gravity in more detail; Ewan will post his review at the end of the week.
