I think you would be surprised. According to industry figures, the overwhelming majority of app developers on the big smartphone platforms earn next to nothing. The feature phone space is very different in terms of penetration, usage patterns, and competition. Developers can make a good living here by creating unique services that deliver value to their market segment.

I really doubt that someone who buy a 60€ will spend some money on software also. Users *generally* spend less money on software than on hardware, if they spend 60€ for hardware, I really doubt that they will spend money for software.
