This is an excellent question. I decided to price MonkeyTunes as a separate product and at the 10$ pricepoint. I had some agnst over this for current iMonkey users for the following reasons:
1. Apple does not tell me who or who didn't buy iMonkey. So I have no way of verifying who actually purchased it, who just stole the software on one of the jailbreak sites, and who didn't buy it but wants the discount. (You would probably not be shocked by the number of people who stole iMonkey with a jailbroken phone).
2. If you had posted on this thread or on my iMonkey forums previously I could verify you were an iMonkey user so they would be eligible for a discount. Since of the 5.99 Apple take 30% I only receive $4 per purchase. I of course will offer this 4$ discount off of MonkeyTunes to this group of individuals.
3. I spent a painstaking 2 months (around 150 hours) of development time creating MonkeyTunes. I think in the end it is a superior MM plugin easily worth 10$. I offer the 14 day trial so you can be impressed or unimpressed and decide for yourself.
4. Some people may actually prefer iMonkey over MonkeyTunes because it is faster to load that Apple Remote and some people love the Landscape view of iMonkey that the Apple Remote does not have.
I know that probably sucks, but I do all of this in my free time and think about 150 hours all done after my day job and on weekends etc. I am pretty sure my wife hates me now.
