The reason publishers aren't making anything is because Google searches have pilfered content and garnered the ad revenue. Like I said, Apple platform has actually reduced delivery cost even with the 30% increasing publisher profitability. The issue is consumers' personal information, not % take on the app, which Google has no issues giving away. They will run afoul of legislation requiring opt in unless they can buy off enough legislators to squash it. Opt in is the way to go if a company has integrity.

Popular Science, Elle have already accepted Apple's terms and have Apps that are free. They'll get great subscriber membership increase, many will opt in on personal info if the magazines incentivise correctly. I have the Popular Science app and it's excellent. Good magazines with increased subscribership driving ad revenue and no delivery costs will evolve from the the Apple model. Google will continue playing it's "competitive advantage" games. You think Google came up with 10% because of a sense of fairness. sure they did.

Still waiting for an answer on why Android Market charges 30% on Apps. Any chance you'll answer that?
