My milestone is less impressive, but the market is a lot smaller, so hey. Still, I'm happy with my 1500+ downloads.

This motivates me to finish my guitar tuner app.

Ian, what is your feeling on free/trial/paid apps? Have you considered it with your app, or do you think in-app advertising is the way to go?

For my tuner app, I plan to have a simple tuner, plus an advanced intonation wizard that can help you to intonate your guitar using one of a few available techniques. I'm thinking I can have the free version have just the basic tuner, then upgrade to the paid version to get the intonation wizard (and maybe some other goodies too like a simple frequency counter etc).

Can you get info about which countries the downloaders are from?
