   I should qualify the question with a little more detail: Are user-visible and user-manipulable file-systems on the way out?

    I believe you can. But if you want to provide the external link you'd have to also offer the service through the App Store payment method as well.

    On that point we are in complete agreement :)

    Firstly this is a positive change (not perfect, but better). But the original rules as stated already in these comments were presumably to see if a) they could get away with it b) to stop people using subscriptions to avoid normal purchases

    Yes, I've just logged in to Developer Centre to check and the policy is updated on there.

    I guess it's easier to give people a bit more freedom when the initial rules are causing a lot of bad will than to restrict functionality down the line that people are relying on/used to having.

    Yes, it's closing the stable door after the horse has bolted somewhat. Presumably the recent announcements from large media brands (Playboy, FT) of their intention to deliver through webapps has caused this, so we should be thankful to them

    The key difference between the old policy... "provided that the same content is also offered in the app using IAP at the same price or less than it is offered outside the app." ...and the new... "that is subscribed to or purchased outside o

    I'm not sure it does "blank out the tablet and force the use of a mouse". If you've got your video going to an external display then that is where you're going to be looking. It's not possible to interact using the touch panel if you aren't

    If you look at the CPU info it also shows it supports a range of frequencies from 200Mhz to 800Mhz and that the current running speed is ~280Mhz. So presumably the CPU scales between 200 and 800Mhz based on demand to improve battery life an

    Thanks for the response. If I was building an image for the first time I no doubt could easily make the same mistake. It'll definitely be something I make sure of I ever decide to make my own image in the future.

    "Don't worry your pretty little head about where we store the files." It's just a different type/style of abstraction that may not be suited to you! All file systems essentially hide the nasty details of where and how files are stored (whic

    I can't see why this is so groundbreakingly different to what iOS already does? The only benefit is that it isn't modally covering the entire screen. It's still obscuring part of it though. Notifications in iOS do feel like an afterthought

    I would imagine the case made was to support iPads - presumably a small segment of visitors but I'm sure the agency devs wanted to play!

    Thanks for the extra ideas :) I guess I'm just working out /how/ to contact these people - I'm more a write code kinda guy! I'll have to learn fast :)

    Thanks for the offer of help - I think I've mitigated the worse with a minor functional change now. If it gets nasty again I'll definitely be in touch :)

    Whether it's "taking off" (!) or not remains to be seen ;) Thanks for your good wishes :) Exciting though! phlux is being super helpful in guiding me in the right direction to make something of it!

    I may have controlled it a bit by replacing the "random" link with a specific flight instead. Looks like that was causing most of the problems - keeping an eye on it.
