iPad Apps, iPhone Apps, Deals and Discovery at App Shopper - Popular Recent Free Price Changes in Games for iOS
appshopper is also available as app you can install it, and add items to the wishlist, so you get an alert if something you want drops in price
before buying anything, check appshopper for history to see if there were prior price drops. if it has gone free or price dropped before, it is likely to hit that price point again.

also touch arcade posts mosts of the good price drops and freebs, plus their forums has a promo code give away section, but these codes are used up soon after they are posted, and are normally used for promoting new games

Dark Nebula - Episode One is free

bloat can be blamed on entire buckets of pixel densities and screen sizes to design for, think of the sheer number of unique droids in the market, to the point that entire versions of games are dedicated to the features of some droids (XHD versions of games are differently priced, you dont have diff pricing for widescreen in the app store yet, its still just for HD)
one reason for many apps to occupy the 0 price point can be that iOS does not have sub $1 pricing, something Play does have

Developer here. On Android you dont need to code for all the screen sizes present in market. Actully, You need to design only for 4 screen sizes.

xlarge screens are at least 960dp x 720dp
large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp
normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp
small screens are at least 426dp x 320dp

That's it. Nothing more. If it is an app, you only need to work on UI and code base is same.

have

In play store, If you make your Paid app as free, you cant revert that change. It remains free forever.
About pricing : You can't have sub 1$ price for any app/game unless Google has some event. e.g 10bn app download event.

^hey that's cool, didn't know apps could not jump back to paid after being free on Play. or that sub $ pricings were all google events... wondering about android bundles

my src for that post was something similar, the user interface guidelines Metrics and Grids | Android Developers

esp the bit
The density buckets are LDPI, MDPI, HDPI, and XHDPI. Optimize your application's UI by designing alternative layouts for some of the different size buckets, and provide alternative bitmap images for different density buckets.

guess I read, "some of the different size buckets" to actually mean more than the number specified

also, had read this on how the variety of devices affects the development of the content, can you confirm or clarify ? BBC News - Answers about Android
