It was only a month ago that I posted my story on BeamItDown Software closing up shop because of Apple's in-app subscription requirements. Turns out Apple has decided to update the policy to be more developer friendly. But why?

A day doesn't go by where I don't read someone proclaim that Apple will fail if they aren't more open. That the Macintosh is doomed if Apple doesn't allow third-party manufacturers the right to create licensed Mac clones. That the App Store should not be the only place where iOS device users can download software without first needing to jailbreak their devices. You needn't look any further than the success of the iPod, iPhone and iPad to see how closed actually works well in Apple's favor.
