But Apple charging money for allowing developers to put software in the App Store has been the case since Day One. And they have lower overhead charges for this sort of thing than any other commercial entity that I know of. I'm sorry, other than the fact that the Developers now have the easiest possible way that they have ever had in terms of getting their software distributed to their customers, and they're getting a bigger cut of the retail purchase price than they have ever gotten before, and that all this started with the iPhone App Store a few years back, how is this news? -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
