iPhone OS3

I think that when the iPhone OS3 drops, the App Store will be come a much less friendly place. Part of the beauty of its current incarnation is in its simplicity. You know what you're buying and how much you're paying for it. Once Apple allows in-game purchases, apps will start getting all annoying with nickel-and-dime upgrades on top of seemingly low app prices. "Sure you can get this awesome driving game for 99 cents! Oh, you want tires on that car? That'll be an in-game purchase of $3.99 please."

Get ready for the App Store to be a lot less fun to shop.
