maybe apple should just start charging those who reserve names. A real developer would be willing to pay $50/mo to keep their name reserved during the time it takes to release the app. A cyber squatter will go broke reserving 500 different names.

And you would also pay 50$/mo for Android, the each of the hundreds of Android Markets, Blackberry, Ovi, Facebook, Twitter and so on? It could get expensive...

From personal experience I think many a startup founder would think twice about the prospect of paying $50/mo for something like that.

To me that's a whole month's worth of food.
