Google's Answer to Apple: Google One Pass

Google returned Apple’s serve from Tuesday, except that Apple has the dominant tablet behind its serve in the iPad, while Google is relying on recently introduced Android devices.

Chairman Eric Schmidt introduced Google One Pass, its answer to the App Store subscription model announced by Apple Tuesday.

The two major differences: Google will keep 10 percent of revenue from sales, as opposed to 30 percent for Apple; and, as reported by TechCrunch, information collected by Google will be shared with publishers, unlike Apple.

From a post on the Google Blog by Google Commerce director of business-product management Lee Shirani:

Readers who purchase from a One Pass publisher can access their content on tablets, smart phones, and Web sites using a single sign-on with an email and password.
