- pstinnett 17y agoThis is a great point. I wish there was some stat on how many people heard of Eucalyptus Reader via the press around its rejection.
- calambrac 17y agoHow is this a great point? How does this 'fact' (serious question: does anyone actually know if this is true?) at all inform how we should feel about Apple's app approval process? It's not like every app that gets unfairly rejected gets this kind of publicity - Eucalyptus did because it caught Gruber's attention and he blogged about it; this one did because it's coming right on the heels of the Eucalyptus incident and it's the EFF. So, seriously, what, exactly, are we supposed to take from this point?
- pstinnett 17y agoMaybe I misused the word "point". I do think it would be interesting to see some sort of analysis on how press attention regarding rejected apps affects sales.
- calambrac 17y agoI agree. Apple should totally start charging developers hefty fees for those rejection letters they send out, it's just free publicity. Fucking freeloading pervy developers.
