the revenue streams come through traditional CC processing on the page, rather than like an auto-detection from itunes account if it were an app..but then you could create alot more adult specific or dating/sexting type sites/applications.

I know people are "optimizing" sites to run on iphone for pics and video, but i was thinking more of actual applications, whether like a "hook up" dating type site to video/pic video viewing built from the ground up for the iphone user, rather than just a rehashing of a current site just to fit in the viewing area.

Fight the apple reach-around!
