Right, that was my understanding. 70% of 99c is ~70c. 70% of 70c is ~49c. 70% of 70% nets the developer 49% of the 99c selling price; just under half.

We'll definitely explain this in a clearer way as we move out of beta. Out of 99c Apple takes 29c and we take 20c leaving the developer with 50c, so slightly over half :)
