If the bouncer decides your app is malware, what happens? If the app gets kicked out of the market, that’s effectively an approval process. A reasonable one IMO, but it’s still an approval.

If true, this explains why they didn’t bother putting WinPho7 on tablets — it’s an EOL OS. Given Win8’s ARM support and supposedly smaller memory footprint, phones should definitely be able to run it.

I’m still using discs so I haven’t really paid attention, but this data is really surprising (especially given all the complaints about piracy). It breaks down by studio: Disney, Paramount, and Columbia are purchase-only while Warner, Universal, and Fox are generally anti-Internet. Movies that are available for streaming are indies.

Looks like they’re putting the “pay to download, get paid to upload” cyberlocker business model on notice. There seems to be a high correlation between this business model and copyright infringement.
