(Oh, pardon me. Only Apple can call their app store the App Store.)
I have a little bit of a beef with those out there running “application delivery mechanisms.” Don’t get me wrong, I really like the idea. I really like that Apple is bringing it to the Mac, and wish that Windows would develop a similar technology (Linux has had it for years… but that’s the nature of Linux). The issue I have is the ridiculous restrictions that the device managers put on them.
Take this article for example. Apple is making rules about how other companies can sell stuff through their apps. I think this is a little too much. Because I can see no other move for this than to get more money off other people’s work. This is a little bit like Microsoft charging developers $5 to write a program for Windows.
I guess that’s the price of being on the platform though.
