"Apple is now barring all single-station radio applications from the iPhone and iPad, insisting that "single station apps are the same as a fart app and represent spam in the iTunes store." So says Jim Barcus, the president of DJB Radio Apps, an outfit that has long helped build iPhone apps and other mobile apps for radio stations across the country.

He also points out certain inconsistencies in Apple's stance. "Every Pizza joint can have its own app. There are more than 900 flashlight apps. More than 3,000 apps that do maps," he says. "But radio stations cannot have their own apps."
"
And Steve Jobs proclaimed: "Spread the word. And wait next month when I will be introducing an app that has a single magazine in it."
