iPhone market size
I’m not sure who’s pulling numbers out of their hind quarters, but someone is terribly off, these estimates seem radically different.

Expendable
The company I work for, SourceForge sent me this today. I think they are trying to tell me something.
Apparently a reference to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirt_(character)
George are discussing.

Your presentation on
http://www.slideshare.net/steve918/in-app-purchase
is very nice!
There is only one thing I’m missing:
the third alternative using InAppPurchase!
1. the self contained model unlocks existing features/data
2. the downloadable content model uses additional server-side logic and application
for verifying the transfer
3. the third alternative with the most usefulness would be:
— InAppPurcase like the self contained model, and
— the iPhone App downloads additional content
symply from an FTP-server and uses this in the future
(without serverside logic!)
Why did you not described this third alternative of using InAppPurchase?

The reason why this isn’t as useful as number 2 is you can’t protect your downloadable data or verify the purchase receipt on a backchannel with Apple. Although your method is easier to implement it’s incomplete imho.

I’ll have to trust the experts here, but it doesn’t seem to me a likely prospect for any theory. ,
