While it is good that Apple keeps the App Store secure by checking what goes up on there, it's mad the stupid things they reject apps for, and this is a good example of that.
In what way would having a clock icon like Apple's one for the phone history icon equate to the converter app being malware, or equate to people on the forum thinking it was?
Yes they may have copied where Apple put the hands of the clock, but Apple didn't say it was a infringement issue, they said the issue was people might get confused by the fact the icon was similar, which is just utterly stupid.
No, you misunderstood me. I said that people dislike the approval process of the app store and if the employees weren't there and apps just appear like on the G1, it would be mess and a lot of viruses and bad stuff, which is not a good thing neither for the iPhone or the customers.
People don't like to follow the rules. They want everything their way.
I love the app store and looking for new apps. The only complain that i have is waiting more then 2 weeks for a single update. If the app is launching for the first time is understandable... it takes a lot of testing, but waiting almost 2 weeks for the facebook update? that's ridiculous, but i understand the fact that there's only 40 people behind the approval/testing process and is not an easy thing to do.
