How many sales do you lose because you can't sell it for $0.99 with a single tap, though? And you've gotta take on your own credit card processing handling. (Or you could do ads, though still it'd be easier on the App Store where iAds are practically a drag-and-drop component with no extra signup/relationship to handle.)
None of these are insurmountable, of course, and a web app certainly has advantages and is appropriate for lots of things. But for lots of apps, that 30% cut to the App Store sounds totally worth it.

- glhaynes 16y agoWell for those that are packaged by PhoneGap and sold via the App Store, you're back to Apple taking 30%. But if you're also gonna distribute it over the web too, you've added on the time/money expense of handling credit cards and/or ads for the web-distributed version. Are people selling PhoneGapped apps on the App Store that are essentially the same as browser-accessed apps they're selling independently?
