Apple clearly needs to emulate Palm (in the old days where programs were often freeware, shareware, and demoware) and figure out a way of combining shareware with iTunes– perhaps 1 week to 30 day fully-functioning demos that expire unless purchased.
I'm not an iPhone developer, but there is something I don't understand.
Apple has something called ad-hoc distribution. From what I remember, you get 100 ad-hoc licenses which you can use for reviewers, beta testers, etc.
So take 50 ad-hoc licenses and give them to people who want to try out your app before they buy it. After a month/week/day, revoke those licenses and give them to other people. Create a sign-up sheet on your website.
Hello sir, that’s exactly what I needed. It helps learning how to market on social networking sites. Thank you! If you don’t mind I would like to add it to my website.

Is this horrifically difficult?
Peter,
Yeah that is pretty difficult.
