If users do not like Apple practices, they can avoid buying the

What you are overlooking is that vendors like Amazon have already
invested who knows how much, to build and provide first class
applications for Apple products and their customers.
Let us not forget that nobody forces them to use Apple App Store if
they are not willing to accept Apple's conditions. They can continue
selling as they have been so far. This is quite different from the iOS
App Store where it is practically the only selling venue. For some
companies with limited marketing reach, 30% cut may well be worth it.
Adjustments of this deal will surely follow as marketing forces and
loud people have their play, as Richard predicted.

I just sell things from my website; marvellous; rather like my EFL
school; only me, myself and I;
just imagine; I can strut around and pretend to be Steve Jobs all by
myself, in the privacy
of my own home, and not have to put up with all sorts of know-it-alls
telling me to take
flying leaps and so on . . . :)
