"We have determined that this application is of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community, and will not be published to the App Store."
That's like Amazon saying "we won't sell your book, because it isn't of interest to the broad Amazon.com customer community."
They need to do something with the App Store so that it feeds off the "long tail" instead of fighting against it. (UI improvements? try-before-you-buy? some other browsing/search/tryout enhancements?)
- tptacek 18y agoApple never promised to publish every application. Books are not a platform Amazon owns.
- tstegart 18y agoNo, but they kinda put out the welcome sign, proudly touted their "60 Million Apps Downloaded!" statistic, and now they're saying, "thanks, you've done your job now go away."
- greyman 18y agoThe Amazon example is not very fitting IMHO, since they have full right to do so. Are they obliged to sell your book? Don't think so...
