Buying apps which you own on Mac OS X?

[gloryunited]

Hi there, I am about to buy the iPhone 4S and remember seeing demos about apps sharing through iCloud on the very last Stevenote.

I'm pretty sure we can pay once for the apps and then go ahead and install them on our other iDevices for free. But does it apply to iDevice apps only? What about Mac apps?

So for example, do I have to buy Garageband for my iPhone if I already had it on my Mac?

thanks

Apps for OS X and for iOS are different and cannot be cross used

Buy for Mac, use on Mac
Buy for iOS devices, use on iOS devices

Two diff operating systems

In order for this to work, you'll have to find a developer that offers it (across the platform: iOS to OSX).

Two different operating systems and two different app stores. They are not cross compatible as the apps are coded differently and therefore cannot be shared between the two formats.
