Apple has come under much critisism for it’s unjustified rejection of apps from the App Store. A developer submitted an app called GV Mobile which allowed Google Voice users to use the service on their iPhone. This app was rejected by the Apple reviewers for a reason that was never disclosed to the public. The developer has since gone on to release the same application in Cydia for all jailbroken devices.
Apple has also come under fire for inconsistency in their reviewing of applications that are submitted. An application may be accepted into the App Store, while a very similar app may be rejected. The FCC got involved and questioned Apple about it’s reviewal process. Since then, things have been looking up.
Apple recently approved the Qik application, which allows users to view video on their phone (much like YouTube). Apple has also approved the iVideoRecorder application.
iVideoRecoder is available for download to all iPhone’s and can record video on all iPhones as well. The only downside is that the frame rate is extremely low (3 – 4 fps), but this application acceptance got me thinking. Could this mean Apple is no longer being quite frankly, petty with their decisions? Could applications like CyCorder be accepted into the App Store sometime soon? It’s all up to Apple.
