I just found this today (I'd prefer a written article rather than a video, but
that's beside the point) - Apparently, there's a class-action lawsuit against
Apple going on now. They argue Apple has a monopoly on how iOS apps are sold -
Their App Store is the only way to buy apps for iOS devices, and Apple charges
developers a 30% cut on the profits, which contributes to driving app
prices
up. The video:

Seems like this could be an interesting case. On most other computing platforms, people can buy software from anywhere they want, and developers can
easily charge what they want. I know Apple likes to ensure a good experience
by keeping their iOS devices inside a walled garden, but I also like to be able
to do what I want with the things I purchase. I think it would be good to be
able to get apps from other sources and have less restrictions on them.
Well, I have been busy.
