Microsoft: iPhone Xbox Live Apps Must Be Free
Posted by XanTium | August 19 19:46 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From wired.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft has officially halted the distribution of all Xbox Live-related iPhone applications via Apple's App Store -- not to quell creative coding, but instead to mandate that all such programs must be offered to users free of charge.

The creators of an application dubbed "1337pwn Friends List" that allows users access to their Xbox Live Friends List via Apple's multi-function handheld revealed the news this morning, as per a recent conversation they had with Microsoft's developer relations department.

something just doesn't seem right here. don't get me wrong - i am all about free - but why code applications for the iphone in relation to XBL if you cannot recover any costs except through advertising. unless i am missing something here - i wouldn't image that MS would pay these independent coders anything...

the iphone just keeps getting better and better...
