Making money selling iphone/itouch/ipad apps is the geek equivalent to winning the lottery. Most developers are not even going to break even on their efforts expended. Others will make enough to buy their lunch each week. A few folks out of 200,000 apps will make it big.
Apple does well by getting a cut off all the action. What is lunch money to a single developer is significant money to Apple when aggregated across all the developers. Not that I've ever been one for socialist/radical causes, but this does rather smack of out right exploitation of the masses. Others, though, will counter that its no more morally questionable than the many state governments that these days use a lottery to bilk the lower middle class and working poor in a form of taxation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
