Panic cofounder annouces he is leaving the iphone

[Ibjr]

Hey,

Steven Frank, a cofounder of Panic, has announced he is switching away from the iPhone because of the arbitrary app store approvals and rejections.

I can't until AgileSW releases the "export to an encrypted webpage" feature for 1password... I can't live without access to it.

Is anyone else contemplating this?

Gawd, that's gonna' just open the floodgates to fill that void.....

Someone has to take a stand.

I'm only using single ply to wipe until we get some action on this.

And today we have stealth Google Voice posts. Yesterday, stealth MMS. What's next?

I don't blame him.

I'm perfectly happy with my iPhone, but the programers and advanced users are getting squeezed and abused.

This doesn't surprise me at all and I think we'll see more of if unless Apple changes something soon.

Doesn't surprise me and kudos to him for taking a stand. Apple really needs to revamp their review/approval process for apps. With an increase in competition they cannot make it harder of developers because their competition is sure make the process much easier.
