Several new tablets have been announced. Moreover, the lack of a subscription API didn't stop the mentioned services from creating iPad apps to begin with.

Those services are all successful independent of their iOS app. They have no reason to buckle. Instead, they can turn the pressure back onto Apple.

In speaking with several developers this morning, I know some are halting iOS development based on this. For those that can, they'll offer the service via website only.



"the lack of a subscription API didn't stop the mentioned services from creating iPad apps to begin with."

But, Android does not allow _any_ subscription services, especially self-developed ones:

"Please note that collecting payments through your application is not allowed under the Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement."
