I'm not sure exactly what you are implying about feeling since Apple is very polarizing (happy iOS devs are getting sued?), but if you take a step back you'll see that this isn't just an Apple problem. The lawsuits will come to Android app devs next, and probably most other mobile platforms with in-app purchases.

Apple is doing the right thing. It's Lodsys that needs to be crushed, preferably legally.

  Though a large rock from space inconveniently landing on their offices in a more literal manner would work, too.

  I've been curious to see if/how this will affect my proof-of-concept Android app Click It/Click It Gold. I built it within 3 days specifically to test the in-app billing api just after their debut... No word from Lodsys, yet. http://www.kefsco.com/clickit.html http://www.kefsco.com/clickit.html

    I may have missed it, but why aren't you testing in-app upgrade from Click It to Click It Gold? :o)

      They're both free apps.. The only difference is that clicks in Gold cost $99, as opposed to 99c.
