@headsupftw True. When Apple added in app payments it basically negated the need for light/full version of an app.

However, there are still MANY light/full versions in the store from before that was a feature. And there are still situations where its necessary. Especially in the case of apps where the full version is too large to be downloaded over the air. Having a light version that can be downloaded over the air greatly increases the chances someone will try your game and then get the full one later.

Obviously how Windows Phone 7 Series (seriously with the stupid long name?) handles those scenarios is probably not something anyone knows the answer to yet.

“…whereas in the iPhone environment, they typically have to release two versions: A free trial and a full paid version. ” Ignorant remark. Has the author ever heard of “in-app purchase” in the iPhone environment?

Didn’t Microsoft recently match Apple’s revenue split on current mobile development efforts? I suspect they’re just going to keep to that.
