Apple Rejects Sony App, Kindle & Nook Beware

Apple doesn’t want people buying content from within apps anymore. The New York Times is reporting that Apple has rejected Sony’s iPhone app, because they don’t want users to be able to purchase eBooks from the Sony eReader Store from within the app.

The New York Times has more: “The company has told some applications developers, including Sony, that they can no longer sell content, like e-books, within their apps, or let customers have access to purchases they have made outside the App Store…Apple told Sony that from now on, all in-app purchases would have to go through Apple, said Steve Haber, president of Sony’s digital reading division.”
