It's very sad for me.

Marco, I love your insights. I would love to pay you and (by extension) pay the great writers you will find.

But I can't. I've wanted to get into the Apple ecosystem for years, but the hardware is simply too expensive. I've spent hours scanning eBay, NewEgg, and other outlets. Even dated Apple hardware is terribly expensive. I can't justify spending $150 for a 3GS, or $350 for an iPad 1. So I'll have to wait until your content is available on a platform that is easier to procure.

Yes, yes, it's better to do one platform right than to stretch yourself too thin. Certainly don't hamstring yourself in this fashion. Sadly, I confess that I feel like you've passed judgment on me for not having an Apple device, but I'll ignore that feeling. You do not bear the blame for this situation.

So all the best to you, Marco. Let me know if and when you make your content available on the Web or Android. Then I can pay you.

If you are having such a hard time come up with $200 to buy into the ecosystem, I'm sure you have other priorities than paying $2 per month for 8 articles that you may or may not find interesting.

I think you're reading into this move a bit too much. :) No personal offense is meant (I assume), I'm guessing it's just a matter of developer preference & experience and a knowledge of his target demo. Maybe not 80% of his target demographic who might pay for his magazine own an iOS device, but it very well may be close. In any event, no one's condemning you for not owning an iphone. :)
