App Store rejects Macworld iPhone Superguide (because the word “iPhone” is in the title?)

App Store rejects Macworld iPhone Superguide (because the word “iPhone” is in the title?)

Macworld’s Editor-in-Chief Jason Snell has just been rebuffed by the App Store. According to his Twitter feed, Snell’s reference guide to the Apple handset has been rejected for — get this — actually having the word “iPhone” in the title. Was it to avoid confusion with Apple’s own onboard apps or other functions (none of which actually include the phone name)? Or was he just snubbed? After all, NYT’s David Pogue got his book, iPhone: The Missing Manual, approved.

Who knows? I've stopped trying to apply any sort of logic to the App Store approvals process.

THIS is exactly why I use an Android phone. Apple's new-found arrogance and high-handedness to long-time supporters (Macworld), collaborators (Google), and customers (lil' ol' me) makes me think of another computer company based very close to Seattle...Microsomethingorother.

Did Macworld give a less-than-favorable review to a new Apple product?

After years and years of loyalty to Apple (going back to the Apple IIe days), I'm jumping ship when Android comes out on a tablet/laptop platform.

Is iPhone and Apple awesome? How can anyone, who isn't ignorant, actually want one? Seriously. The only person I know that wants one is my uncle. And he is as ignorant as you can get.
