Re: Apple - the good & the bad The calculations in the first article seem a bit off... why would you assume that App Store sales would continue at the current rate indefinitely? Everything has a greater rate of purchase at the beginning, but it will slow down...
And, Apple also revealed it can kill any App remotely if it needs to... Apple needs to make up its mind about the iPhone platform. Is it really an open platform for developers with the App Store just facilitating the sale, or something controlled by Apple to ensure a quality user experience, with the consequences thereof? Right now it seems to have the worst of both worlds, with things like the "I Am Rich" app... there's no reason this shouldn't be allowed in an open environment, if people want to waste their money, well they know what they're doing. (They deserv it!) But on the other hand, if Apple wants to ensure quality, a monumentally expensive yet useless shiny should be the first thing to get denied. |

Laguna Hills, CA | Apple can kill any app remotely incase a malicious app gets through the screening process into the app store.
If they couldn't, and something did get through people would bitch that Apple should be able to remotely wipe an app it sells through the store. |
