When people talk about Apple's 30% cut, and when competitors try to undercut Apple, I always wonder whether 30% is justified. It seems like a lot, but think about what Apple is bringing to the table: not just the infrastructure and staff behind the App Store and the App review process, but the mountains of money they've spent marketing and developing the iPhone and iPad. How do you account for that? There wouldn't be an App Store without those products, and there wouldn't be those products without Apple. And on a more practical note, at the end of the day, percents can be what they may, but what I care about is the total money I get for my app. Dollars pay bills and buy food, not percents =D.
