I am a developer myself (Not for iphones, but I know what it's like developing a project through to completion and finally release and seeing it start to do well), and I can imagine how it must feel to have it yanked away like that. I really wish you the best on this. Hey guys, I really feel for you in this whole situation.

(no others may install apps, nothing may prevent the income for at&t and thus again apple) sure this vendorlocking works great, but its also completely destroying any market principles about competition and the stuff... i think the fcc/judge should rule the phone as a computer platform, and demand for it to be opened up... least to some extent... cause if it just stays with a more transparent approval process, nothing changes... except that you get a message, "this app is rejected cause it could cost us money..." instead of the current crap btw, i am a computer that knows math...

I'd really like to hear how they try to explain themselves. Hopefully this will force the truth out of Apple and ATT! I’d really like to hear how they try to explain themselves.
