"Not mentioned anywhere, not even in the EULA. FUD."

Given that they have no last update date for their Privacy, Terms, et al on their website, I have no idea if these are current.

"Sounds like give away the base app and sell value adds. A perfectly legitimate business model."

As a user of the application, I don't know what they are doing - they did not communicate it. That's my point.

"Err.. did you miss the announcement of the IAP theme store? Because that's exactly what they're doing."

No, I saw that part of the announcement - that doesn't clear it up for me. It indicates that they'll be charging for add-on themes -- nothing else. It doesn't assure me that they'll NOT be selling my data (as an example).

I'd imagine the cross section of their user base which devotes this level of thought to their business model is quite small.

Probably right!
