One more jab to report — It appears that Apple has decided that any references to Android in App Store applications should be immediately removed, or risk being taken down. A developer of a small app called “Flash of Genius”, which was named as one of the finalists in the Android Developer Challenge, was unable to leverage that fact for marketing purposes on their iPhone app. Is this really necessary? As much as I dislike the way Android Market has turned out, I can’t help but think Apple may very well contribute to Google’s success. Apple’s very strict review process does two things — it ensures quality of apps, and royally ticks off developers. Developers are what make the App Store successful, and by treating them this way, Apple will ultimately suffer.
