That makes sense, but if they intend to take 30% of the cuts then there's one of two things. 1. They have a non-exclusive agreement, which means that I for one would simply slam 30% on top of my usual sales price for the "App Store" version. Why would anyone then buy it there? If I was a customer, I would go to the App Store to look for applications and then just google them up and save the 30%. 2. They force you to either an exclusive agreement or at least to agree not to sell at a discount. In this case, I am not sure I would sign up with them. Probably not...
