Exactly! I was thinking of that just the other day and searched out a couple of those threads - hilarious!

So clearly some clarification needed for some people - and personally I have no doubt that all will become clear by the time June 30th rolls around.
From the article above: "If Apple plans to stick to its guns and effectively demand a 30 percent cut of all revenue generated by iOS apps, then content and service providers need to factor that into their business plans.".
