Apple rejects Sony eBook app
Well, it’s been far too long since we heard about Apple making a decision that made them look like control freaks, hasn’t it? Fortunately, the New York Times comes to the rescue. According Steve Haber, president of the digital reading division at Sony, Apple has informed them that app makers can no longer sell in-app content purchases. This, of course, directly affects ebook apps like Sony’s, but also the Barnes and Nobel Nook app and Amazon’s Kindle app, but could also affect Downloadable Content (DLC) purchases from other app makers, like, say, the Mighty Eagle from Angry Birds.
Appletell reviews Comics for iPhone, iPod touch
The great thing about Comics is the way you read it: panel-by-panel, with each one dramatically sliding into the next. The panels can be flipped to view in portrait or landscape, or by using the pinch-and-zoom function. You can also set the program to automatically rotate the image for the best effect. What’s really fun about this is that whomever is working on these panels is obviously paying a lot of attention to how it should be done.
