		<description>There is a lot of buzz around in Iphone app developers’ community that Apple doesn’t follow some uniform strategy for the Iphone application approval.  Many developers have already rejected the stiff criteria and announced to stop developing new apps for the iphone but inspite of these agitations and furor we see many different iphone apps are coming rapidly and these apps are the main source of admiration for Iphone. For some exciting &lt;a href=&quot;http://proappreviews.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;iphone app review&lt;/a&gt; visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://proappreviews.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Pro App Reviews&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I saw a really good story today on &lt;a href=&quot;http://theappleblog.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;theappleblog.com&lt;/a&gt; that details some of the hypocrisy of developers who are complaining about the review process.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://theappleblog.com/2009/11/19/cut-the-drama-people-private-apis-the-app-store-you/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://theappleblog.com/2009/11/19/cut-the-dram...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, the Rogue Amoeba guys, knowing that they had buggy code still being sold and knowing what caused the rejection of their upgrade, could have delivered an update that did not use the icons in question and then fight to include them in a later update, but instead chose to allow a buggy app to keep being sold while they tried to find a reviewer who would not reject them. I understand the principle, but I think that they could have handled this far better than they did.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;ve read what Gruber posted but I disagree with his analysis. Apple&#039;s usage guidelines for their copyrights to me says that developers may not use copyrighted images in their products, and that&#039;s what Rogue Amoeba did. The fact that Apple is inconsistently applying this rule is troubling, but they have acknowledged that their approval process needed improving.</description>
