The fact that there is some set of companies that can "call up Apple" really turns me off to iPhone development. I certainly can't "call up Apple".

- CamperBob 16y agoWell, you can email sjobs (at) apple.com, though, and get some transient Internet fame by blogging the snarky reply. That counts for something.
- megablast 16y agoThis is no different to any other company. There are some company who can call up Microsoft, or even call up people on the Linux dev team, if they know them. This drastically reduces who you can develop for, and is one of the silliest reasons I have ever heard to not develop for the iPhone.
- akadruid 16y agoOf course it's different. We sell and support (very expensive) software on Linux and Windows. If our customers thought the Linux dev team could stop us releasing updates, they'd be looking to migrate to more reliable platform sooner rather than later.
