Yesterday we discussed how various French media were gathering to pressure Apple in order to reduce the 30% commission for each sale takes the publisher gets. One of the ideas of these French media was to create web applications with HTML 5 instead of using an application in the App Store would not have to pay the fee from Apple. In this way, the media offer the same content through the Safari browser on iPhone or the iPhone and taking the total of all sales reported, which would not occur if the content rise to the App Store.
This idea arose from the initiative of the international environment "Financial Times", that discontent with the division of Apple, he created his own web application to interested subscribers. One idea that Apple is not amused, and that ended by withdrawing the application from the Financial Times from the App Store.
With all this tension, the Financial Times website ensures that your application has reached far more successful than your old application on the App Store. Financial Times boasts more than 700,000 people use the web application and its environment, a figure much higher than those obtained with its application in the App Store.
Without a doubt, a good idea that more international media to follow.
