Sony should have known: An App for the Company's iPad was rejected by Apple. The user could have purchased the software with digital books, on Apple's online iTunes kiosk over. Given the threat of competition Apple apparently wants to strengthen its platform. Apple risks a conflict with the suppliers of digital content for iPad and Co.: The iPad manufacturers rejected an application from Sony to purchase directly from the customer on the iPad digital books from an online shop of the Japanese group should.
Apple had stressed that the shop would continue to run exclusively on the iTunes platform, said the head of Sony's e-book division, Steve Haber, the New York Times. Apple rejected the claim then. I am getting only the requirement that a purchase must also always be available on iTunes as an option, cited All Things Digital The Loop and an Apple spokeswoman.
This was again not a new condition, but has long been the case. Such a dual model raises the question of how the content provider would be a difference in their income: the case of purchases through iTunes have 30 percent of the purchase price at Apple. It remained unclear on Tuesday, first, whether the Kindle app would be affected by Amazon.
The shop allows this program to its customers, the Web e-books purchased on the iPhone and read iPad. The most important question for the media industry would, however, whether the clarification invalidated by the recent reports that Apple would prohibit the direct sale by publishers, newspaper and magazine subscriptions for iPad to iTunes over.
