I'm just saying that the prime key is one of the most expensive apps in the market and being created over free source code, it could be a liitle cheapier.
Actually, $4 is fairly moderate by Market standards...Take a look at SPB Shell, if you want to see an overpriced launcher. $15 for that piece of junk is absolutely murderous! I understand that $4US carries a different value throughout the world, and what may be expensive to some, will seem cheap to others. Unfortunately, there's no solution, since devs don't have the ability to adjust price by country or region.

As for Nova, I believe the stock launcher is under the Apache license, and therefore, is not open source. As such, no launchers written off of stock code, need to be open. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Kevin addressed this topic at some point a while ago, and I think this was the gist of his response.

Besides calendar widgets, Touchwiz dots for screen easy access within home screen and app drawer are nicely convenient when jumping between a lot of screens.
I posted a couple of pictures using Go Launcher with ICS theme. As you can see the dots are not big. Maybe Kevin can enable to tab at the screen indicator to easily jump to a different screen.
If you find this useful, please vote for this feature at feedback.novalauncher.com. With the Galaxy S3 coming with a big screen, I'm pretty sure people are gonna love that. At least the option to switch to it.

Agreed. The only reason I delayed my Prime purchase was the fact that I already bought ADW Ex...which was about the same price.

For as smooth and reliable as Nova is, $4 is a reasonable price. Launchers such as SPB & TFS Shell are NOT worth their asking price (both over $10USD) - not even close.

another (not all fair comparison): navigation software usually costs $20+ and you use it like 2-3 times a month. launcher costs $4 and you use it every time you turn your phone on.

And you don't think that hours and hours of coding work is worth any money?

it's no wonder people download stuff with out paying.

You are paying for the labour involved. it takes time to program stuff.

I am missing something, or are dock backgrounds images not available with Nova?
