"This whole "but you can do it on the black market for $20!" argument is, pardon the Latin, fucking ridiculous." Nice way to add 'black market' in there to try to dismiss a valid point. You can get card readers from legitimate businesses.

It's because all Android has done is blurred the line between smart phone and feature phone. It's Android phones now that are the free and BOGO phones and that's exactly what Google wants--a base out there that they cannot be excluded from

"3) Users should be able to trust everything in a curated app store, or else there's not much point to those 30% fees." Isn't the appeal of Google's app store that it isn't curated? Anyone can sign up and submit anything. And Apple has neve

Out of curiosity, can you name some of the legitimate businesses that were affected? I thought the algo only targeted content farms and sites that regurgitated other peoples content.

I disagree. When I enter just a product name, I am looking for the product. When I want reviews, I append 'reviews' to the product name. I would venture to guess that I am not the only one expecting it to work that way if that's the way G

Those are only domestic. If you want international, though still not as many countries as Apple, it would be 3.9% + $0.30 or thirty-four cents on the .99 example.

Hmm... So if I want to have $0.99 payments, it will cost me 32% to go with paypal or 26% to go with setting up my own merchant account, and both are only for domestic payments. Suddenly Apple's 30% for payments from ~100 countries sounds
