Shane, I agree with you 100%, this is almost unbelievable!!! I don't know what the T&C's are for that "other" market so I can't compare. But just from the standpoint of "maturing" an application from inception to say version 10, this is a huge oversight. With each major release the benefit to the dev becomes smaller and smaller.
This seems aimed at the "get rich quick" developers, ones that put out the "iFart" and hope to sell 100k's in a few weeks and move on with no plans on maturing their application (though, if I could make a few 100k in a couple weeks I may think differently too!).
