Price is not even remotely reasonable for what it is. It's a typical "grab money while you can". It's different from "scam" though, this one is legalized scam.

It really depends on where you live. In Germany customer is not "responsible" for unexpected behavior by the company regardless of EULA. (and this law, in fact, does work) I didn't expect that apps on my tablet can start making non-refundable purchases, only because I've bought something using my credit card from google market. (using damn PC, not tablet)

That's the only reasonable (default) way in my books.
And, by the way, are you sure that appstore does it any different when accessed from device?
