Yet another big developer has abandoned the platform.
Joe Hewitt, the creator of the iPhone Facebook app has stopped developing for the iPhone blaming the App Store review process as the reasoning. He was quite a high-profile developer releasing lots of tools with the Three20 project. Joe has continually complained about the pain of the review process on his blog, and it seems that he has finally had enough.
“Time for me to try something new. I’ve handed the Facebook iPhone app off to another engineer, and I’m onto a new project.”
What is it going to take before Apple realizes they are blowing it?
Apple censored an English dictionary.
A dictionary. A reference book. For words contained in all reasonable dictionaries. For words contained in dictionaries that are used every day in elementary school libraries and classrooms.
This is getting ridiculous and making it really hard for me to feel good about taking iPhone development to something more than just a hobby.
