Here is a perfect example.

A feature many have been dying for on the iPhone is the capability to tether your iPhone to a laptop for quick internet access on the go. It looks like someone made that dream come true, at least for a moment before Apple realized what happened and quickly made use of their monopolistic hold on applications for this device to quickly banish it forever.
When I first heard about the App Store and the fact that there was no other way to get applications onto my iPhone, this is the exact kind of behavior I knew would come up eventually. How many other apps people would have liked have been "rejected" by Apple? How many more will there be? For example, will we ever see an app for turn-by-turn GPS navigation, or is Apple never going to allow a company like TomTom to do that because they want to make it themselves?
I, for one, am pretty disgusted by this behavior and plan on jailbreaking my phone as soon as possible so I will have the freedom to use any developed application I want. Never has the term jailbreak been more fitting. I just hope this particular app will be re-released for jailbroken iPhones soon.
