Apple Lays Down the Banhammer on Android Magazine App
Providing its content isn’t totally obscene or illegal, there is one thing Google won’t do based simply on content focused on something other than Android: ban it from the Market. But Apple on the other hand likes to ban things seemingly just for kicks, the latest case involving the denial of and application from Danish magazine publisher Media Provider. What was so wrong with the app that it should be banned? It was an e-magazine with content centered around Android.
I know, I know. The shock value of an app being banned from the Apple App Store is no longer what it once was — it seems Apple will ban your app for any of a myriad of reasons — but it’s just down right silly to deny an application because it talks about something other than your products. I’ll just put it this way: the iPhone is the North Korea of the mobile world, except in North Korea they are probably led to believe the iPhone was designed by the supreme leader Kim Jong Il himself.
