and to think about it, Apple benefited from Nokia's HERE app for free, just in time when their mapping sucks big time, even bigger than the demise of all dinosaurs from a meteor impact! Why so greedy Apple???

I use iOS devices and love Apple products, but Apple truly is corrupt in a way thats way worse than Microsoft.

Apple would be a bigger looser if they don't allow. That rule has been present since the conception of the app store, as far as i can remember. Apple are by the book type. They say no, if it says no in their rule book. Wouldn't blame them completely for that. Thats how most companies operate. Apple needs to reform their rules though.

Let's say Apple, Google, MS and RIM have the same policy where they get 30% of all in-app purchases. Now suppose there is this cross platform service a developer provides. If a user has devices of all 4 platforms and uses this service, does this mean that if he makes an in-app purchase to get additional services, Apple will get 30%, Google gets 30%, MS gets 30% and RIM gets 30%? That's 120%.

I recall that Apple's policy has some restrictions on what users can purchase outside of the app. Such a policy seems to really restrict cross-platform services.

Microsoft should kill the IOS skydrive app altogether or offer it's priced services only on Microsoft's own web site. not in the Apple app .if I remember correctly Apple does not take a cut of things sold when you surf the web on an Ipad or Iphone and go to a website and buy things from that web site if apple does do that then the Ipad's sales will drop like a rock
Microsoft has to learn not to sell anything in an Apple app.
