Well, at least we know he's listening and is concerned enough to respond to the criticism. Where this leads will be interesting to see, it's only been two days after all.
Thanks for emailing him.
- ugh 17y agoYou know they are worried when they are using their PR backchannel. (But damn, what a great tool from a PR perspective.) (I don’t really know whether Firefox is such a good example. It’s a great program because it first challenged IE, not because it’s anything close to a native feeling app. There must be better examples out there, right?)
- mattparcher 17y agoI don't think they're "worried". They may be a generally secretive company, but Steve has been replying to a lot of emails in the last few months. I'm not surprised to hear about someone else hearing from him, although I can't recall the last time someone emailed Steve about a developer issue specifically. The only time I remember them reaching out to developers was a while back when app rejections were getting out of hand, and Phil Schiller (SVP of Worldwide Product Marketing) started making the press rounds to say that Apple was working to improve the situation (e.g., http://daringfireball.net/2009/08/phil_schiller_app_store http://daringfireball.net/2009/08/phil_schiller_app_store)
