Apple doesn't allow third-party developers to use "private" API's (hence why they are called "private") either. These are private for various reasons (legal, completeness, etc.). But in these cases (usage of private API's) Apple is very clear as to the nature (and therefore resolution) of rejection, so this point in the article invalid. There are a few good points, but in general, most of the "lessons" Apple can supposedly learn from Palm only point out the lack of familiarity the author has with Apple's current process.
