1. Re: Could someone please tell me if this recent news by Apple will effect future DPS operations???
David Ben Jun 9, 2011 3:08 PM (in response to Shaun Phillips)I dont see how this would effect Adobe's operations. DPS currently utilizes the "in app" purchase feature, the article is in reference to "buy button" workaround some developers used to have users go outside the app to purchase and download content. (DPS remains inside the app at all times durring download and purchase so it is not effected). The article goes on to say how Apple is actually relaxing its rules to allow outside app subscription in which Apple will take no percentage of. Infact a publisher can make the outside subscription purchase price lower than the Inapp subscription purchase price-- which is just amazing! . Of course all this is in preparations of Apple's iOS 5, which will feature a brand new Newstand app hosting a variety of options for Magazine and Newspaper publishers. On the preview images Apple has release you can see a few magazines created with a variety of Digital Publishing tools including Adobe's DPS and the MAG+ system. I would imagine the new version of iOS would expand-- not contract-- the usability.
If anything it may effect the Enterprise level of DPS because i know they have options to integrate different payment API's-- im not entirely sure how Adobe handles that integration so i can't really comment on it.
