Thanks for that link - that explains it.

Well, kind of. I mean, it explains what happened to the app. But not why Apple would enforce this arbitrarily on SONY.

How is this different than my reading the Economist (to which I subscribe outside of the apple store) on its dedicated app? Or watching Netflix or HBO (separate subscriptions). Or the magazine on Zinio? Or the Kindle app, as the article itself mentions?

Makes very little sense. Not the first time, with Apple, but surely there has to be some other criterion - such as simply not wanting to do business with another tech gadget manufacturer.
