Can Your iPhone Fart?
If you are one those who paid $500 last year or a couple of hundred bucks this year for an iPod that has mobile phone capabilities and lets you surf the web and a whole load of features! I have a question can it fart!
Well, your iphone can show you your way around the traffic, wake you up in the morning, or organise your schedule, but no it cant pass some gas virtually!
It couldnt until Sam (the developer who doesn’t like to reveal his last name) came to the rescue and created an app called Pull My Finger. Sam’s fart idea didnt pass by as smooth as he would have wanted. He was discomfited when he got the note from the iPhone team that said, “We have determined that this application is of limited utility to the broad iPhone and iPod touch user community, and will not be published to the App Store.”
Sam complained that he had spent “tens of minutes developing this application” and had his reasoning to why Apple rejected the app:
“The fact that it was rejected is a curiosity. As many people have pointed out on YouTube and other deeply philosophical forums, there seems to be a disconnect between Apple’s message of allowing vulgarity in the iTunes store but not in the App Store,” Sam continued. “Also, the message of ‘limited appeal’ to the iPhone community doesn’t seem true. Our personal opinion is that some app reviewer at Apple is scared that Steve will be sitting at dinner, and will hear some awful sounds coming out of an iPhone at a nearby table. And that he will have the reviewer’s head on a skewer for allowing it to happen”.
Hillarious! Well it is not impossible that Apple had concerns about iPhone not being very pleasant at the wrong times. Just as a little treat i got this video off youtube for all you cyberzest readers:
The iTunes app store is a new industry
The iTunes app store was one of its kind on the internet when Apple opened it in July. But in the next 6 months the idea is set to be adopted by several companies. Google has announced that it has plans to expand into the market, while T-mobile, Microsoft and Symbian are expected to follow. Developers will be able to sell downloadable applications that will make mobile phones more useful and entertaining.
The appeal of an online app store is evident. 60 million apps have been downloaded from the iTunes app store. The store had an average of $1 million in sales everyday for the first month.
The app store is increasingly worrying for Microsoft in particular since the iPhone buzz is starting to dig into Microsoft market share in the Mobile Phone operating system market. Microsoft is expected to launch the Skymarket where it will sell apps for its operating system, Windows Mobile 7, which is expected to be released in 2009. Google will be doing so a little earlier as their Mobile operating system Andriod is anticipated to arrive later on this year, for which it will open the Android Marketplace. Which I think will be a significant blow to Apple since the andriod will be capable of operating on a range devices and therefore its app store will have a much larger market.
