The way to make a fair dollar with many apps is simple. You will need scrolling.

This same method is the dividing point between what should be a killer ap on the Droid and what you would expect on the iPhone. The exact app is not important.

Droid: App is free and works great but scrolling is a dog.

iPhone: App is $3.99 and scrolls nice.

Is scrolling worth the $3.99 or $0.99 or however the dev sets it?

Probably.

Yeah, most of the time.

Also, it is no longer an iPhone, Android, Blackberry, or whatever thing. I say this with the anticipation of Adobe Flash in CS5 firing out files for iPhone,  and I imagine more to come. Bonus – ECMA 5 was recently finalized.

So imagine one common language, guided by a larger common model, allowing multiple platforms to receive from a single codex.

Hmm, the circuit you run on is much getting less important.

Oh yeah, remember there is JQuery Touch (demo). So the walls are closing in on some ideas, but generally opening up for the masses.

So, that money thing. Free gets the crap scroll.

Paid gets the smooth glide.

I got a Motorola Droid. Initial thoughts:

Not an iPhone killer: There is no iPhone killer, only good additions to the modern smart phone atmosphere that will eventually put the iPhone it the correct place (some 10-15% market). The Droid by Motorola seems to be another positive leaning option in the marketplace. More On This
