An App Store For iPhone Software

Posted by kdawson on from the can-you-run-me-now dept.

Steve Jobs demonstrated a new "App Store" that will be pushed out to all iPhones in June. It's available now in beta. This will be the exclusive avenue developers will use to get their iPhone apps, written to the newly released SDK, to customers. Developers will get 70% of the proceeds from sales of their goods on the App store, with no further charges for hosting, credit-card processing, etc. Jobs called this "the best deal going to distribute applications in the mobile space."

    Yes, but Apple still takes 30% of the sales price.

    Ask any Windows Mobile user how much they web browse on their pda/phone.
    "Browse" is a pretty strong word for what I can do with the web browser on my Q. Struggling through quicksand or maybe tar to glimpse tiny bits of the information I want before something crashes or the battery dies is probably more accurate.
