00000		$30? Echostar can eat dookie

Why so much when the PC and Mac app is free? We already bought the hardware. The app should be free just like their PC and Mac clients are. Having more clients pays for itself in more hardware sales.

Presumably because they are a for-profit company and would like to make money for their share holders.

It's the same price that the Windows Mobile app has always been.

I'm off to go watch my Slingbox on my Touch Pro while using the cellular network and not WiFi.

Add this to the many reasons on why I think the iphone sucks.

Well given they are bleeding video subscribers, it seems that Echostar management doesn't quite have a grip on what people expect. $30 for an single platform application on top of hardware is excessive and I will skip it.
