  Oh. That makes Apple's stance more clear, then. Do they reference paying for anything anywhere in the app? They might want to take a play out of Kindle's book here. edit: if they haven't already.

    > Do they reference paying for anything anywhere in the app? No. That's the point.

    No, please refer to all the ink spilled on this already. They were very careful to avoid references to paying anything in the app anywhere, or linking to anywhere where payment could be made. This was always the rule previously. It's not just HEY: other developers are now reporting that Apple's grip is tightening and starting to enforce this change. You can no longer provide access to any service without submitting to Apple's tax, unless (1) you are a "reader" app or (2) you only sell to businesses (i.e., the user cannot pay for the app).

  I have to say—while I consider Apple's practices terribly anti-competitive and user-hostile, and I want to applaud anyone who makes a stink about them... I feel quite uncomfortable about this being the poster child.
