    I'd love to see every rejected app head to Cydia.

    @dingus: In the one way that I have absolutely no problem with uTorrent (I use it) I can see why Apple would reject this. At least they didn't claim uTorrent itself is illegal and instead can see, unlike many other organizations, that is a legal tool that is used for illegal purposes. Sort of like Roms and Emulators.
    Emulators are illegal, but the Roms aren't.

    @rootfindr: Because I got tired of the arms race between the jailbreakers and Apple.

    And I mainly used it for listening to podcasts, which you have to sync to iTunes to copy. Android has a few good apps for syncing podcasts automatically OTA. The only reason I have now to hook my phone up to my PC is to back up the SD card contents.

    @SeraphX2: I can see why Apple, with loads of media company contracts holding up iTMS, would have to nix this. OTOH I used to use the Transmission webui on iPhone, which did just about everything I needed it to especially after Apple added cut n paste.

    I have been thinking about unjailbreaking my iPod Touch since there arent many Cydia apps that i use but now that I've seen this i think it's really good to have an alternative place to get my apps.

    F*** App Store selection policies.

    When I first heard about the iPhone at MacWorld in 2007 I was so excited; I mean a phone running Unix predicated off a pretty stable OS. I kept telling people "It's a computer an they can add more features." "Yeah I know it can't MMS/Copy-Paste, but that's just a software fix." Then the store came out and I championed for the iPhone ever more with statements like "See now anyone can make applications--it's going to be just like a desktop."

    And now, with Apples app approval process, I have no defense. The phone will never reach it's full potential as long as Apple's Russian roulette approval process continues.

    @dingus: Honestly, I'm seriously considering it. I just wrote a program for Android Developer Challenge in 5 days (from no code/eclipse/API knowledge to a working proof of concept). The same exact app took me 3 months to write on the iPhone.

    Android SDK is way more flexible than Apples SDK and development is a lot more forgivng due to JAVA vs Objective C (C in general). My only problem with Android phones is the form factors. HTC is great, but those chins are hideous.

    @Eugenia: Yeah, pretty sure if they rejected GV Mobile, then they would reject a tool that is pretty much iTunes' competitor when it comes to downloading music. This is the one time I would have to agree with their approval process.

    Guys,

    This is why I get pretty much all of my iPhone app news from Gizmodo. If it weren't for the heads-up that Gizmodo provides, I'd be without GV Mobile.

    @OMG! Ponies!:

    So I'm assuming the Google Voice app was removed when you re-synced your iPhone? Do you get reimbursed that money from the app store?

    Now I just have to wait until the Jailbreak for 3.1 gets released... I just spent almost 8 hours picking out a GV number. TRU-FUNK!

    @DMF: It survived the sync. In theory, Apple can remotely kill apps. But I don't think they ever did. They didn't with Tris or with PhoneSaber.

    I hate to be nit-picky, but did Luke really carry an iPhone? He clearly is confused with the installer for his Megatron 3000 Super Strata-Cruiser Lightsaber, in which case he is going to look pretty silly in a few minutes when he learns it is just some silly Apple phone product from way in the future we are talking about.


    Just saying.

    Aside from the very pertinent Pulp Fiction reference, this is by far the funniest use of the Star Wars stills to date.

    Yeah, I get that the illustration is an iPhone wearing a hard hat...but it sure looks a lot like something a bit more, well, NSFW to me.


    All I'm sayin' is I sure wouldn't touch that iPhone, don't know where it's been.
