@Splyntyr I agree – it doesn’t negate the need for “lite” versions. I’m curious to know how this will affect devs – will devs have any knowledge of the fact their app has been shared? Will devs have the option to allow their apps to be shared or not? And how long would the shared app work for on the iPhone – one day, one use, a week?

I think the idea of “peer to peer” sharing is actually slightly misguided. The idea that you would actually transfer the app from one iPhone to another over Bluetooth or Wifi is unlikely. From what I know, the user’s preferences are also stored in the app file itself. So instead, it’s more likely that when a user shares an app, it would show up on the other iPhone as an alert enabling you to download the app from the App Store for free.

Sharing sounds great, but there’s a lot of questions that still need answering.

Hell watch them only do it in the US, because everywhere else’s copyright laws are either to stringent or not stringent enough.
