In-app purchase for iPhone free apps now possible

Apple had just sent an email to the iPhone developers:

In App Purchase is being rapidly adopted by developers in their paid apps. Now you can use In App Purchase in your free apps to sell content, subscriptions, and digital services.
You can also simplify your development by creating a single version of your app that uses In App Purchase to unlock additional functionality, eliminating the need to create Lite versions of your app. Using In App Purchase in your app can also help combat some of the problems of software piracy by allowing you to verify In App Purchases.

By allowing this, developers are able to create free / lite / demo software for users to download from App Store.  If users like the software, they can purchase it from within the software for a full version (activate it).  They do not need to pay and download another full version from the App Store again.

Good news for the iPhone developers and users.
