Wouldn't the developer still price to market in this case? It would be ideal that the decrease in commissions would be proportionate in developers' price points, but more than likely you're still paying .99-1.99 on average for the app. The developer is just making more in this case, not necessarily benefiting the consumer any more.

If developers can keep a larger share, there will be more competition and higher quality apps.

This is speculation, also outside US prices tend not to end at .99.

Not really, it's basic economics.
