And there's a good reason why Apple's squeezing content retailers like Amazon out of the App Store. Imagine if PSN had a free download link to XBLA. You could buy XBLA games on your PS3, but all the retail earnings would go to Microsoft. Sony wouldn't see a dime. Would you really expect Sony to tolerate that situation?

Except Amazon is not stupid and an Ipad isn't a game console designed and sold to play licenced dedicated games... There isn't anywhhere a contract that says that to sell software on am Ipad you have to pay a licence to Apple and can only do so through the Apple store).

All Apple will succeed by doing that is encourage the migration of the big apps to HTML5 where Apple will never see a dime... Only the small apps will stay in the store as they lack the marketing/brand power to get visits on their site...

Right, so what's the difference between an app on Apple's store that doesn't make Apple a dime and a web app that doesn't make Apple a dime?

Answer: The web app isn't costing Apple money to host, review, and promote.

the web apps are available on android the same day they release for Iphone ;)
