“Just saw a bit of a rant by M.G. Siegler on TechCrunch about Apple’s review process for iPhone applications. Apple has banned a variety of applications from the iPhone Apps Store, sometimes while allowing very similar applications through. Even for applications that don’t trigger arguments over appropriateness of content, the review process itself is lengthy and unpredictable. I can think of few other industries where the final step of the production process – putting the product into the hands of users – is held up for an indefinite period of time by an organization who has final say on the matter, doesn’t post the rules, and provides no guidance during the development process.”
