They sell their devices at a healthy margin. Their financial interest in the device should stop at the till. If they want to sell additional software and services then they can prove their value on a competitive level playing field.

Right now they are double-dipping, not because of value they are adding, but because of the power they have given themselves over the consumer/developer relationship.

So is Amazon “double dipping” on the Kindle are the console makers? Are grocery stores for marking up products and having slotting fees?

The App Store is a service.

I disagree, it's a market.

If you allow 3rd parties to sell something, you create a market. That market should be free and competitive.

If you want to keep it a service, don't allow 3rd parties in.

So Amazon, EBay, the console makers, FaceBook should all offer their markets freely?

Not offer their market freely, but make it competitive, yes.
