> In fact google charges 30% on everything as well The difference here being, I can install any app, from anywhere onto my Android device, without modifying it any way past changing one setting. In fact there are several non-Google app stores you can install, which charge either significantly less or nothing at all to the developer. There simply is no analogue for iPhone or iPad without jailbreaking, something that ultimately creates more headaches than it solves. For all intents and purposes, Apple holds a monopoly on marketing and distribution with regards to iOS apps, something no other device or software manufacturer is currently doing.
