30% cut to Apple isn't a micropayment, which I define as tolerating small amounts without getting killed on overhead. You could just charge their credit card and get better rates. I wonder if they'll block services like http://tipjoy.com from working on the iphone.

This sounds like an awesome release though.

I agree. If I wanted to sell an ebook or mp3 or something at a competitive price it would be impossible!
