Yes you read right, the Mobile Application Store revenue share should be 90%. Japanese OEM/Operators are the best example to follow on this and soon or later it will happen elsewhere.
But why not sooner then later? Why not Nokia or Samsung just on this and beat everyone else on competing in the Application Store revenue [...]
After my previous post, Mobile App Stores 70/30 revenue split too little, is it a cartel?, Andrea posted a message on twitter which is a very well known issue for long time for anyone in the mobile space. Before there were carriers/operators that were the gate to get mobile content now OEM have been added [...]
This interesting post at IntoMobile is saying that 70/30 % revenue split is too low.

It’s very unusual that this is not discussed widely in the mobile industry. It would be normal to [...]

Also WURFL includes Flash Lite information, so you can use it to display Flash Lite content within [...]
