>I can argue that every rule in the App Store contributes to making it a more effective developer->user market than the open web. Really? What about Apple banning an Android magazine app? The user must be shielded from alternates for their own good so that they won't get tempted to shift to an inferior device? http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/11/26/apple-bans-android-magazine-app/ http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/11/26/apple-bans-android-ma... And what about a prototyping app like this one? http://blog.robrhyne.com/post/1015614125/google-voice-says-hi http://blog.robrhyne.com/post/1015614125/google-voice-says-h... Those are just the tip of the iceberg. Taking a year to judge a Google voice app? Good for the user! >: the App Store is oriented towards exposing and supporting great apps, not just apps in general. It’s a philosophy that says “What users need is 50 great apps, not 10,000 average apps”. Taking a 5 minute look at a few of the 300K apps in the app store is enough to dispel this, Apple approves trite apps all the time.
