Most important thing for me is, will the software help me enjoy me device more....

[rorithoughts]

is the combined price-usability factor.

but for a single one: usability.

Understanding usability as the number of features plus how easy is to take advantage of those features in real world situations.

I have purchased many software int the past for 50 dollars each, even thought there are ones wich I dont want to pay 14 dollars for them.

Is what you receive for every penny....

The most important factor would be a mix of:

Usability/productivity/Good reviews on reputable forums

If I had to pick just one, it would be Usability.

It must have a functional and intuitive interface along with being bug-free.

What I look for in a program is nice interface. Just getting the information to you is part of it, having a clean and easy to use interface is just as important.

Probably the originality, doing something in a unique way.

[drummrsanonymous]

This is just a slightly different way to put what everyone else is saying, but I want in on the contest too so...

The biggest factor for me is that the software shows that it is of enough value to me to justify the price. This happens in various ways - developer name (very short list), independent reviews, independent testimonials, detailed walkthroughs, and demos. In general, if the developers do a good job, someone with enough visibility and credibility will review/recommend it, which I'll see and decide if it's worth what you priced it.

A software application that satisfies a need.

I put software on my Pocket PC because I can threby access it from my pocket, so to speak.

Pretty complex reason, I know ...
