The iObjects Code Sample
While this is quite a bit more complicated than the Last.fm API we discussed in the
previous section, it can really showcase the power of using an API in your application.
Now you don't need to worry about payments for your material (since Amazon Flexible
Payment System (FPS) can take care of that), and you can easily offer products through
your app, through Amazon, which—chances are—your fans are familiar with and use
regularly!
As we have seen, using APIs from services such as Amazon or Last.fm can add not only
interactivity to your application, but also new revenue streams and ways to innovate.
Your band (or your client's band) will certainly distinguish themselves when their users
can download the song while still at the concert, and you'll be the developer hero that
made it all happen!
