Sony to court iPhone devs, match App Store pricing?

Weve known for a while now that "snackable" content (inexpensive apps for instant gratification) was in the cards for the PSP, a fact that supports rumours reported by Pocket Gamer that handheld games for the PlayStation Network will be priced in the €1-5 range -- on par with Apples App Store. In addition, it seems that the company has been "actively sourcing" iPhone developers to bring their existing titles to PSN. Who knows? Maybe the quickneasy approach to games (and someday apps?) will take some of the sting out of the PSPgos "premium" price point. Either way, if all this is true its turning out to be a red letter day for iPhone devs.
