Apple takes a 30% rake on all app sales. The customer buys from Apple's store and only Apple's store. It is very reasonable that many would expect Apple is providing value above and beyond the 2 to 5% rake a credit card company provides for such a transaction. I have been programming for 30 years, know very well what a privileged program can do to your information...And yet, this business with Path and apparently many others stealing your address book...totally caught me by surprise.
