So when is the CrunchPad being shipped?

Lets take Hulu for example, who currently has a subscription model of $8.00 a month. Now if a users decides to subscribe to Hulu through an iOS app the price of the subscription is the same for the user. But for Hulu instead of collecting $8.00, they are now collecting $5.60, since 30% is now going to apple, because that person used an iOS device. So it is a tax on both the app publisher and the consumer.

Apple's new term of service states: "All we require is that, if a publisher is making a subscription offer outside of the app, the same (or better) offer be made inside the app". For the app maker, the quickest way to compensate for a 30% Apple tariff is to raise the price by at least 30%, which hurts the app maker and the consumer. Even before this announcement the app market as we know it today, is on it's way out. In favor of creating a browser based mobile web app. With this new tax, I believe the adoption rate to create browser based mobile web apps will continue forward at full throttle so app makers and consumers are not losing 30% of subscriptions and content purchases to apple.

It looks like some miss guided people, that wrongly interpreted Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club.

Thank you for the video.

This has happened before, in 2000 every one was directing you to their myspace page. In the mid 90's it was a AOL keyword, late 90's is was their website. Next will be twitter.
