“UPDATE: I’ve been talking to more developers about this and lets just say that not everyone agrees with me. The message I’m getting is that while 30% seems like a lot, RIM’s margins with App World are going to be razor thin when they implement carrier billing. Carriers are going to want to take the majority of this 30%, if not all of it, and the lower revenue share may have been forced by the carriers themselves. While prices may go up in the short term to accommodate for this new revenue share agreement, prices may actually come down because more developers will see there is money to be made. More competition may ultimately drive prices down for everyone. Only time will tell.”

MobiHand is doing all that just for “free” – my Apps are always up2date without any kind of delay – and I am able to get up to 80%

By taking 10% are you really going to increase your cashflow to a point where you wouldn't be able to expand otherwise? 10% is a lot of money for a small development team who are already feeling the effects of a recession.

This is just a really bad business move.
