In it's first year of sales, the iPad would already be a Fortune 500 company. Apple has no problem making money off their hardware.

We're in a bubble of people asking this question, for sure.

Even if there was a bubble, you are talking about early stage investment that probably means there is $250M instead of $100M - previously the bubble was in the late stage where there was $15Bn instead of $1.5Bn. Huge difference.

I thought you sold subscriptions through your site, and they could then be viewed on the iPhone? Can you purchase your content via in app purchases presently? I don't see how it changes for you guys. Apple only takes 30% if you use their pa

Amazon takes a 30% cut of those.

Does this run multiple applications or do you have to plug it in each time you want to run a different app?

I imagine the reason publishers dislike the Apple payment stuff is not the 30% but the fact that Apple owns the customer, not them.

by pclark 16y ago
By "being there" you mean, having the data that enables one click payments from a mobile phone - that in itself, is a huge deal. I think 30% isn't ridiculous for handling payments on a mobile device. I remember asking an FT guy if he felt

A lot of the comments here and the actual website is devoid of any advice you'd actually find valuable if you were interested in applying to these kinds of programmes. Here are my two cents on what to look for (I don't know the answers) * W

These guys are going to win, I highly recommend applying if you care about design, and especially if you care about this market.

Of course. Nokia is going to take a beating until they have proven they are turning the ship around. The company will be in both public and private turmoil until it either emerges as a turned around company, or a dead one.

It's as if it takes time - years - for crazy consumer propositions to propagate from early adopters to people outside of the tech world. When Jorge Lorenzo has his Twitter handle printed on his Yamaha motorcycle, its safe to say that Twitte
