On: A Rare Disagreement

That's a little fuzzier, though. Steve said he's not trying to get a chunk of SaaS. So is Instapaper a content subscription or SaaS? Seems closer to the latter to me, but definitely concede the point that this uncertainty is bad for the platform.

At the same time: Paying out $2 billion to devs and having 200 million credit card accounts means never having to say you're sorry.

Yet. He can change his mind at any time. If SaaS looks as promising as publishing does, who's to say he won't?

So... he has altered the deal. I guess all we can do is pray that he doesn't alter it further?

I agree with the GP: what bothers me most is the inconsistent, capricious nature of the judgments being handed down.

I guess we'll see if any of that actually has an effect on the number of developers/quality of apps in the app store.
