So you think Jobs wants people to adopt HTML5 so they won’t have to make apps? Why would he want that? They make a metric shit ton off of royalties from apps.

And why does a company shying away from making native apps benefit itunes at all? Again, doesn’t make sense.

But I think he’d probably rather get paid that 30 percent. Then again, if companies like Vudu shy away from native apps that just gives iTunes an advantage.

It’s not about the tax. It’s about HTML 5.

Jobs wants to incentivize HTML 5 (free vs 30% tax) so that it fully replaces Flash (Adobe is adjusting and will make $$$$ on HTML 5.).

Jobs leads the industry and this is what it looks like. Pay on my platform or free on HTML5.

Jobs wins on either (and so does the industry).
