Wi-Fi Sync App Rejected by Apple

Thank god for Cydia. $10 bucks is a little steep though. I'll wait to see what comes of OS 4 and the new iPhone before I bite. Only a month!

:p

And technically multi-tasking is 2019 Apple tech but thanks to the power of the peeps our voices were heard. It's time we force Wi-Fi syncing on Apple too.

Funny, but thats EXACTLY what Apple WILL do. For quite some time now they've taken features from developers and integrated them within the OFFICAL product features list. But as Job's has been quoted as having said " They have no shame is stealing good ideas".

I hope he filed a patent so that he can rake Apple over the coals when they implement it themselves.

Apple already has a patent for wireless sync to a portable device. They already do it for AppleTV. The difference is that device has 802.11n wireless.

When iPhone has 802.11n, then start whinging about a lack of wirelss sync. I expect it for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch the next time iTunes is updated, either June or September.

Why doesn't Apple have this functionality built-in to these products? It seems like a no brainer??? Apple probably has something in the works, so it doesn't want to seem it copied this??? I don't get Apple sometimes.

802.11n when it's in iPhone & iPad, then you'll get it. Apple doesn't do half assed. Well except for MobileMe, which is the definition of half assed.

I should have put a sarcasm tag, my apologies for making you respond. I intended sarcasm in light of the HTC/Apple and Nokia/Apple nonsense going on.

edit: I added sarcasm tags to that post.

You have no idea what they are working on in the Lab, so if they come out with something similar it's a bit disengenuous to call them copy cats. The app store reviewers also have no idea what's being worked on in the lab, but they will err on the side of caution before allowing an app that replaces an inbuilt function of iPhone OS and potentially would allow the copying of media files off of the device. :rolleyes:
 
Maybe wireless syncing is something Apple has up its sleeve for WWDC. At that point it would duplicate a function of the OS. And if Apple is planning to unveil it at WWDC they don't want their thunder stolen. Apparently the actual prototype of the phone is all over the place. iPhone functions are one last area they can surprise us with I guess.
 
Another testimony of why Apple will fail to fill the market with its devices.

Who wants to use a platform with that restrictions?, for developers to do what they want (if it's not illegal, of course) and for users to use the apps they want?
Apple is GOD in its store, and thus, in the iPhoneOS, so developers are entirely subject to their will, and users to use "what they want, as they want".
And now, they want developers to use only the "dev tools" they want.
What will be next?

It may be the best mobile platform, but you know, I prefer to be able to choose.
I bet for Android.

So it didn't break any app store rules but was still rejected?

My take on the Apple App Store is its like dating a hot chic with a high profile modeling background. You are just happy to be with her and she has lots of other offers.

When her mood swing hits, you either go along with her "new rule" or you leave. If you leave, she won't miss you and can find another to party that evening with only downtime to fix makeup or switch styles.

However, no matter her quirks and drama, you still score points and opportunities on and off campus by just being with her.

Then you discover she gave you crabs! :eek:
 
I see Apple developing this its own way but I really don't see the point of it. The iPhone's battery drains quickly so I tend to connect it to my dock every time I am near it so the phone's always on full charge and synced.
