As usual David Pogue has summed the entire situation very eloquently. Thanks for keeping the fire on David! Hopefully the next couple of weeks will shed some more light on what has really occurred and what the future will hold. Will Apple also censor or block your right to get to certain websites? Uh, oh. Can open. Worms everywhere. Net neutrality worms that is.
Nice to see that Phil Schiller has spoken up on the Ninjawords story that Gruber wrote. It’s good to see that someone at Apple is at least paying attention. Of course he couldn’t comment on the Google Voice situation because I’m sure the Apple legal team has everyone under lock and key given the FCC investigation.
Also there was news today that yet another high profile profile app has been removed from the store. What makes this interesting is that this is another app that had a lengthy and successful stay in the store. So the touchy refund issue will rear it’s head again. Hopefully the refund issue gets looked at again. Once again a developer could be on the hook retroactively for potentially a lot of money.
Finally, one of the commenters on Techcrunch had an absolutely hilarious take on the app review process.
When Phil Schiller entring the field. Maybe Apple has seen that the latest cases is a danger to their market and will improve the transperency and process off application approval?
