Apple is stingy with remuneration

External programmers claim apple for not distributing their profitsharing. According to a growing groupt of thrid-party developers Apple is stingy with remuneration. The payments are entitled to them as sppm as their developed software applications are sold via App Store for the iPhone. Apple declined to answer questions.

The external App Store developers feel betrayed and exploitet since they are the reason for crossing the billion application line in the App Store. In forums and chat rooms claims of third party developers, who moan about extremely late payed bills, heap up. In the United States Apple already took measures and announced to pay the developers within the next 45 days. Developers dismiss this statement as waffle.

This mess started back a few months at the same time as Apple boss Steve Jobs left the company for sanitary reasons. According to the New York Post, one of the developers concerned complains about contributions still due (more than 10.000 USD) since February. The developer wanted to stay anonymous because he feared that Apple could have banned him. However, only a single mail account is available for third-party developers to complain about problems. According to some e-mails the developers were just put off.
