This really annoys me and is making me rethink my phone choice! Here is a letter sent to a developer from Apple axing his iPhone application. What utter BS!

SOURCE

"Hello Developer,

We've reviewed your application Pull My Finger. We have determined that this application is of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community, and will not be published to the App Store.

It may be very appropriate to share with friends and family, and we recommend you review the Ad Hoc method on the Distribution tab of the iPhone Developer Portal for details on distributing this application among a small group of people of your choosing.

Regards,

Victor Wang
Worldwide Developer Relations
Apple, Inc."


W.T.F? Why not let the users decide what they are willing to buy or use? This app was in the store so it passed the harsh guidlines to make it into the store, which is a feat of it's own. The thing that annoys me most about this is the fact that the number one selling iPhone application is Koi Pond. So some fake fish swimming around isn't of limited utility? It does absolutely nothing and is totally useless! At least Pull My Finger attempted to be funny, which gives it more usefulness than a show off our graphics waste of space!
