I posted earlier on this and submitted it here a few days ago. Apple is taking myopia into the realm of an artform.
As the app developers find out they can't get to there customers in the "approved" way through the AppStore, they can either give up all or most of their profit to Apple, give up on iOS devices, or start selling in the Cydia AppStore for jailbroken devices and go back to providing their users products they want to use and making money. More "mainstream" apps in Cydia legitimizes it, and more apps and users will follow.
