Apple: Nothing Has Changed. Except For This One Thing.

Last night the New York Times published a report stating that Sony's E-Reader application had been rejected from Apple's App Store, because it used a transaction system other than Apple's In-App Payments. What's worse, Apple was apparently blocking applications from downloading content that had been purchased outside the application ?�which could spell bad news for Amazon's Kindle platform. Now an Apple spokesperson has given us this statement:
"We have not changed our developer terms or guidelines. We are now requiring that if an app offers customers the ability to purchase books outside of the app, that the same option is also available to customers from within the app with in-app purchase."
Huh? At first glance it looks like the NYT article was simply mistaken ?�Apple is saying that its terms and guidelines are the same. Except now it's apparently choosing a different way to actually enforce those terms.
