Here's a good example of what I mean. http://almerica.blogspot.com/2008/09/podcaster-rejeceted-because-it.html
This guy wrote a podcaster app, which can grab podcasts over the internet directly to the iPhone. This is something many users would like to be able to do. It's not as bandwidth intensive as watching YouTube clips, which iPhone already supports. Only AFTER he spent all the time designing, writing, testing and debugging his app, he sent it to Apple and was subsequently rejected because Apple said they already had that feature. But the problem is, that feature only exists in iTunes, NOT on the iPhone. So, reasonable people suspect Apple has that same feature in a new version of iTunes for iPhone not yet announced, and they don't want anyone else to hone in on their market. Very, very serious issues. There are a number of professional iPhone developers who have already quit developing for iPhone and are looking to Google's Android open source platform, which doesn't have such problems. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
