If thereǃÙs no money in downloads, leave that market to online providers, or find a cheaper alternative to setting up your own shop, and offer better services. And if you insist on trying to sell downloads, donǃÙt hamstring them with copy protection so theyǃÙre locked to a phone, or worse yet, to a particular service.
