I only paid five bucks for Civilization Revolution, and less than that for Solebon solitare which I've used for over 350 hours so far. As long as my free eatwatch keeps running, I'll keep using that until such a time as either Fatwatch goes on sale, the price is reduced, or a competitor comes in with a cheaper port. I'm certainly all for your freedom to charge what you want for your software, but as a potential customer I think you should know that you've overpriced it for at least one person. (Of course, it could be that 90% of your potential customers think that price is great, in which case I'm back to waiting for a competitor) As someone who’s used Eatwatch on the palm since 2000, I’m interested in Fatwatch, just not at ten bucks.

There are two app stores, as described, but it's not mac vs. windows, it's PC vs. web. A lot of the crazy bad stuff is coming from the web world. What were stupid little web sites with an ad stuck in the corner are now stupid little 99c apps. Apple partisans are kinda loony sometimes.
