One of the biggest benefit of webapps is no installation required. There are thousand of webapps and I have made a webapp to search all iphone apps easily on iphone. The application list is updated daily from Apple website. It includes all apps approved and rejected by Apple. It is designed specially to use on the iphone so that you can get the application you want instantly. If you are rejected by Apple to list your application, you can submit your iphone webapps at http://ipoh.blogdns.com/. It is 100% free and searchable. Please make an introduction to your work at the forum. All are welcome!

[...] well (some 3.0 bugs crept up). Visua gained some noteriety around their app, Fracture, that would make the iPhone screen appear broken when pressed. But they make a host of already-approved apps, including Celebrity, which features a special [...]

Doesn’t essentially eliminate the idea of the creation of a parody app? I know there are legal guidelines in visual and print media that allow for playful mocking, but are there guidelines that cover developers.

The fracture app looks quite cool and I would love to play with it. A solution which would definitely hurt their sales would be to allow the user to fracture any image in their photostream. Then a tech savvy user would be able to take a screen shot of the home page and get the same net result.

Apple needs to loosen up.

It’s Apple’s device. If you don’t like it, jailbreak it, If that’s not good enough, don’t get one.
The only issue I have with Apple’s approval process is consistency. Apart from that, it’s their sandbox and they can do whatever they like in it.

Perhaps we could have an iPhone commercial drivers license to protect the innocent victims of application overload! Mobile devices are going to be computers, and here we are agreeing with the limitations that the telecoms would have been so happy to place upon us developers. Sad, indeed!

The only way it becomes a problem is if Apple attempts to set standards for applications. If Apple say allowed the “stabbing” application, the fall-out would affect the developer, not Apple. Secondly, there are not enough developers out there to create the mayhem of choice you allude to. We would see more mediocre as well as more creative applications.

Apple is protecting Apple. Their process is straight from Kafka, and is frustrating as hell. Let the market decide what is appropriate outside of social standards.

I think everyone here needs to get a life. Its just a gimmicky toy for adults. Hopefully not all phones go the way of the iPhone and still allow users to put their own crap on there – if Apple had their way you’d only be putting stuff on there you bought from their precious iTunes or App store. No thanks, not the world I wanna live in.

@acoward

I don’t see why throwing a Win95 BSOD could be “insulting” to anyone other than fanatic Apple fanboys.
Worst case scenario, it is useless but “insulting” or even “potentially insulting” seems a bit out of line

Is Mac OSX running on a PC insulting for Windows ?

What makes no sense to me is why people are accepting this & don’t even realize it, nor apparently care.

Apple is controlling what content you’re allowed to put on your iPhone…and really they have no business to say what you’re allowed & not allowed to put on your phone. Let me use some analogies:

It’s like your Laptop Manufacturer telling you what programs you’re allowed to put on your computer.

Your DVD manufacturer telling you what DVDs you’re allowed to play.

A country telling you the citizen what website you’re allowed to surf.

I mean what if a phone company started telling you that you can’t call your friend because they’re with a different company? Or you can’t e-mail certain e-mail address because you’re not allowed?

I find all this amazing, confusing, and terrifying at the same time. It’s your phone/computer, it’s your property….you should be allowed to do whatever you want with it.

I made an equivalent app back in August 2008 and got rejected for exactly the same reasons. While I disagree with Apple’s rejections in some cases I think they are making the right decision in this case.
They don’t want to confuse clueless users and they don’t want to have anyone mistakenly think the devices are malfunctioning. The odds for both are small but they are not zero.

My app was also potentially insulting to Apple. It could either crack the glass or throw a Win 95 BSOD :)

Chris Pratt: I think that’s exactly the way the review process works, and its not working, clearly enough. There needs to be more exact guidelines as to what is ok, and what isn’t. Period.

And an ass-wipe like you, Igor, doesn’t deserve an iPhone and will never have one.

Have fun with your plastic fantastic wannabee toy phone.

dumbass!
