Though you may not ever see them, there are apps in the App Store that sell for over $9.99. Mostly they're for doctors or stupid gimmicks, but they exist. Now the first one relevant on a larger scale to consumers is about to become available with the SlingPlayer Mobile app launching tonight for $29.99 in the App Store. How this app sells will be really interesting. While other consumer electronic companies have made apps, most have given them away for free like DirectTV and the Remote app from Apple. But SlingPlayer will be a bit different from those since it's streaming content from a piece of hardware you own to your iPhone -- so it's basically an extension of that device to use on the road. Of course, there's also a big caveat: It will only work over WiFi.
