Knowing About It...
I think for me the biggest factor is knowing about it. There is *so* much great software out there, prices are so reasonable. The only obstacle is that I really don't know about what *is* out there.
I take every chance I can get to learn about new products and for me that's the biggest factor. Once I know about it I can then decide if it fits my needs or not.
I know that seems like a stupid answer but there's not a good, comprehensive list of all the major titles out there by application category. If there was I'd own more software as it would be easier for me to browse and find what I need. In a lot of cases I see a product online somewhere and realize immediately that it meets a need I wasn't aware I had until I actually saw the product.
If someone could organize a comprehensive list that was well organized and sortable by vendor, application (business, finance, contacts, dialers, games, expenses, etc...), price, device, popularity, etc... it would greatly benefit all software vendors.
