Good analysis, thanks for the info! would be interesting to also know more about sales trends, but you know Apple :-)

A lot of those people (Khalid Shalik) take some of the most popular apps, and pretty much re post the same app under his name, has crappier quality, etc etc. They're essentially ripping you off. Just so you guys know.

You should mention the fact that the developers get only 20% of the app...
So most of the money you pay goes actually to apple for doing nothing rather then to the developers doing everything.
