Isn't the point being made that you are in effect paying twice for the
'same' thing? Only worse, because the first time you are effectively a
guinea pig for Apple's benefit (although it wouldn't be so bad *if* the
beta fee is deducted off the full release fee which is presumably higher).
In any case, why charge if there's a definite expiry date on the beta?
