Why should Apple not charge developers to download and use the SDK, I am pretty sure MS does. So far with some 550 apps available in the iPhone Apps store I haven't seen too many people or developers complaining about having to use the SDK. I have a feeling that you will find under their GAAP accounting practices (US law) that they have to charge a nominal amount for the SDK and also for certain addtional software updates pertaining to the iPhone. The iPhone and applications from the store are a very effective money making packge, Apple ain't no charitable organisation (neither is MS) If the iPhone didn't play DRMd tracks it would be **** out of luck when trying to play tracks from the iTunes music store which the music industry has demanded they should be "protected" against copying LMFAO! Obvious repsonses from Metla aside but the n00b that wrote the article needs to get a clue. |
