I guess they have the right to reject whatever they want. However, their review process does seem quite hypocritical and doesn't seem to have any kind of foundation. Seeing as i don't own an iphone or itouch this doesn't affect me, but it sucks for those people trying to get their work on the market when apple doesn't seem to know what it thinks is acceptable/not acceptable.
They can accept/reject whatever they want. It's their store.
The ridiculous part is that not only are they choosing what to sell in their store, they also seem to think it's illegal to run anything that's not from their store...

this is why i hate apple. they make a really good piece of hardware for apps and games, and then cripple it by making you have to buy a mac, pay $100 a year just so you can submit an app that will get rejected, and even if it is excepted, the only place ppl can get it from is their overcrowded store.
there just standing up for there beliefs and standards I say good on them That pirate ste should have been closed simpleinstead they get a slap on the wrist

pretty idiotic couse once you own the hardware you should offer them a cup of gtfo
Ouch, Trent Reznor is an Apple fan and Mac user too. I'd be mad too though. The bittorrent app is a bad rejection too. Unfortunately the problem is solely with Apple, but corporations in general. Obviously their process needs to be overhauled because right now it feels like whoever is in charge is clueless.
Uah...sooo boring. Who the hell cares??? Wanna have an iPhone? Submit to their rules. Don't wanna have one? Then get on with your lives.
I don't really understand why so many people that hates Apple and want nothing to do with their products wastes so much time reading about it and commenting...
What's sad is that even though policies like this certainly open the doors for competitors, those competitors can't seem to get their act together and thus Apple remains.
Come on guys, give Apple a break. These guys will never learn that the more open you are, the more favorable you become to the public.
In fact, I see two direct connections between the Communist Party of China and Apple.
1. They must control abso-freakingly-everything. That speaks for itself.
2. They care about their supposed "image" when there are none, and it's better to show your true side than try to hide it under accusations and censorship.
3. They are both run by dictators.
Kinda funny how apple are using their monopoly to dictate what is morally sound and what isn't. Despite individual countries, counties, and even local communities might disagree. Yet nobody seems to be bothered except those being shot by apple.
Wierd really. Microsoft, Intel and all the other big companies are held responsible for their actions. Apple isn't, and they're even playing police themselves now.
Thank god I'm not part of that rotten apple sect!
