For me, the big question is going to be whether or not this model will be limited to in app purchases, and will they be able to make the apps so that they really don't function well without in app purchases? I have some apps, such as newsify, for which I happily pay the yearly subscription, because it is worth it to me to get all those fulltext downloads easily accessible. I wouldn't even mind paying for some upgrades, such as I believe happened with Twitterrific once or twice. But I don't want to have to pay for run-of-the-mill updates via the form of a subscription. Nor do I want to be forced to get the update without the choice on my part, because it is too often that updates break formerly accessible apps. Mary
