		pedanticfreak on Feb 2, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Gruber on iOS In-App Purchases I'm not sure about the IRS, but I know for a fact non-profits have been in a bind with Apple for years for just that reason. Apple wants 30% of the donations. Or rather, Apple will not allow credit card transactions that do not go through in app purchase. Every charity wants to arm its people with an iPad or send out a free iPhone app to collect donations. Ever notice how there aren't any?

No. I don't have an iPhone. After watching Apple sell a Title I junior high where I was interning a lab full of IIGS machines in 1991, I haven't had much stomach for them.
