In App Purchases In Free Apps?

Apple recently announced that all iphone app developers will now be able to use the in app purchase system for free apps as well, in the past this has only been available for paid applications.

What exactly does this mean?

a) No More Lite Versions;

Developers can now ( If they choose to ), package their whole app under a free title, letting you try it, then if you really like it purchase it, just unlock the full game / app through the in app purchase system.

b) The End Of Piracy ?;

Probably not, but it will make it more difficult. Since in app purchases are verified through Apple to check that your account has in fact purchased the feature before being unlocked, it wont be as easy anymore as just finding and adding a cracked .ipa file.

c) No More "40 Free Prestige Points" Littering The Free Apps Section;

Developers for those MMO games can now sell these through the app itself

Is all this good or bad? Decide for yourselves
