Especially games I'm thinking. I really hate the limited trials we have mostly now. Being able to put out a full fledged and fully functional game with integrated trial and in aPp upgrade would I suspect drive more sales.

I think it's going to help developers since it means less work for consumers to purchase their apps (might mean more impulse buys). It should also be easy enough for most apps to tuck the code away so it's not intrusive and only asks when necessary (so it only appears as a convenience to let consumers purchase what they want, instead of nagging them for money like an eHobo standing outside a mall). I'm hoping it's a separate API and not an 'access' API to the BB AppWorld app. If the API feeds info to a person's account so they can track what they've bought, great, but it would be less desirable if AppWorld had to be installed in order for this API to work.
