I said it on another posting here, but it bears repeating, in my mind: This is yet another example of why it's stupid to continue developing apps for the iPhone. The developer agreement and the review process need to be completely rethought and replaced. This is unethical, immoral, stupid, and outright anti-developer. Developers should stop developing for the iPhone until Apple gets their heads out of their asses and stops doing this shit. If you're developing for the iPhone, you're just setting yourself up for financial losses, wasted time, and heartbreak.

It's unethical and immoral only if Apple isn't currently attempting to make the system better, and we have no evidence of that. I agree that it's stupid of them, I agree they're not supporting developers like they should, I agree that lots of people are getting hurt, but not every awful system is intentionally awful. It's been only a year since the program opened: I'm going to give Apple the benefit of the doubt for the time being and assume they're hauling ass to fix things. 99% of iPhone developers don't see these problems, and don't have their hard work rejected. Wanting the system changed is certainly a fine thing, but calling iPhone developers stupid is a stupid and meaningless insult that belies your one good point.
