If Evernote’s increase of user registrations is even close to being normative then I’m sure a billion and one developers are going to jump into the new Mac App Store asap:
So far, 166,789 new users have started using Evernote in the first few days of 2011. Since the launch of the Mac App Store, more than half of them are coming from the Mac. About 40,000 new users have signed up from the Mac so far. Note that this is new users only!
Yikes. That’s amazing. Time to get to work…

Here’s my question: If I buy an app in the app store Apple gets a 30% cut right? So, should I find the app I want and then visit the developer’s site to download it so the developer gets more $$?
I want to make sure the team doing the bulk of the work gets their fair share.

hmm. that’s agood question… i’m not sure… but that would be legit.

I only ask because of the way the systems are set up. With the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad you HAVE to buy via the app store. (Unless you jailbreak.) But, with Mac you could simply bypass the app store all together.
I want to do the right thing by the developers. To me making them give 30% to Apple isn’t right when I can just head to their site and pay the same price giving them 100% of the revenue.
That’s my 2 cents. I’d love to hear what everyone else thinks.
