Update all, apple did accept it, (relented under pressure I guess) so save your matches for another cause. You can see more on it at Tom’s Blog.

Tom, I would very much like to have this app on my Droid. I believe the Android operating system is much better especially since it is an open platform. Many iPhone owners (except diehard fanboys) are switching to the new Droid. This app could further define the difference in two products.

This could be another idon’t ad against the iPhone:

idon’t allow freedom of speech
idon’t allow differing points of view that would offend our fanboys

But then what do I know. I get my news from Fox.

Tom,
You might consider submitting the app as a text only, then providing through Flickr or similar site the graphic content which could be loaded into the iPhone photo library with searchable tags….

Verizon has the new “Droid” phones and they offer Apps. Why not try them?

It’s a good thing the WSJ isn’t available on an iPhone.

I’m convinced that the app store policy is going to bite apple in the rear before long. The lack of consistency and the very decision to require app approval are opening Apple up to lawsuits. At some point a developer will sue Apple over their app being blocked when another similar app was allowed. Even more likely: an app will slip through whose approval opens Apple up to liability for any lawsuit related to the app.

Plus, the whole thing shows how different Apple’s actual behavior is from what it’s partisans want to believe it’s ideology is.

This story went viral yesterday and got picked up by CNN/Fortune, tons of Apple press including Macworld and TUAW and many others…. and of course The Daily Cartoonist.

The folks at Cupertino all know about it, that’s for sure.

I think the Political and Editorial Cartoonists out there should band together with an onslaught of cartoons about the ineptitude of Apple’s policy on this matter. Political Correctness is running amok and it’s time someone or some group said enough is enough! Cartoonists have a big voice and no matter which side of the politcal isle you fall on, we all ought to be able to come together on this one. :O)
