MacDailyNews Take: Apple forces yet another publisher to develop and market an iPad app under Apple’s draconian App Store subscription rules. 😉
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Readers “Fred Mertz” and “Lynn W.” for the heads up.]
Great. Was just wondering when Bloomberg Bizweek will have its iPad version this morning. It’s a great mag.
That’s fine, but more interesting would be able to subscribe WITHOUT needing a print subscription. Why can’t one subscribe ONLY to the iPad version (thus saving both time in delivery as well as trees and landfills)?
One of the reviews on the iTunes Store page for the app mentions a $2.99-per-month option for non-subscribers.
