<p>The Apple App Store just had its 12th anniversary week. How time flies! The panel of <strong>Mark Fuccio</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong>, <strong>Warren Sklar</strong><strong>, </strong>and host <strong>Chuck Joiner </strong>talk about the development of The App Store, its importance to the Apple ecosystem, and how it drove the utility of the iPhone and iPad. The fees Apple charges developers, for both being a developer as well as distributing the apps, sparks an enthusiastic discussion of transparency and services. (Part 1)</p>
