I agree this is a big issue for me as well. As stated above I have nooooo problem with going through Google for someone purchasing my application. My question is when you use your application to buy additional items. Just like you can put itunes on your phone but USE itunes to buy and download music which itunes plays??
I don't see how this can be an issue because you can use the web browser (which yes it is an app) to bounce around the web and you can buy and download items (like mp3s) which you play on your phone (also an app). So if it is legal to do that then I don't see what the issue is with developers applications having the ability to buy and download items within their application as well? I understand that this is a developers site but you guys have developers looking for direction on this so if you can't at least answer this question then either: A. Don't make it an issue when developers put this ability in their an application. OR B. Point us in the right direction (maybe another legal group) who can answer our question.
