In app purchases have been enabled for free applications, great move from Apple should relieve the pressure on app store submissions as people will no longer need to submit “lite apps” as well as a “paid for version”. Applications that were designed for in app purchase but required the initial application to be purchased will no longer need to be!

Great news for content owners who wish to charge via mobile applications, Amazon have today announced that the flexible payment system is going to be available via mobile

Ill simply let the pricing do the talking and you can decide which you want to use

Amazon

Bango

http://bango.com/products/payment/payment_network.aspx

looks similar at first glance but then factor in Bangos minimums

Is operator billing worth the extra to everyday end users than Amazon? thoughts welcome in the comments!
