Seems like the important question is whether the price per MB is a cost imposed by Amazon or by AT&T (or whoever their 3G provider is). If Amazon is inflating the delivery cost then let Apple screw them over. If Amazon is being screwed over by AT&T then this article is pretty pointless.

I completely missed the point that Amazon is charging >30% of price to publish to the Kindle. Not sure how I missed that...

Still seems like Apple's "implementation" is overly broad in comparison since the iPhone is much more than an eBook reader. However, I am starting to question whether it is quite as "evil" as I have been thinking for the past few days.
