If you haven't read Paul Graham's essay, Apple's Mistake, take a couple minutes to read it.
This is a classic case of the free thinking individual butting heads with the established bureaucracy. No matter how "green" or "hip" or "liberal" a company the size of Apple is, it will be a bureaucracy by necessity. Apple should do something to streamline their approval process, but the day will never come when developers will be allowed to simply add their revisions to the product without Apple's review and blessing. And, if I were Apple, I wouldn't allow that to happen either.

The app store really is a sad joke, IMO, especially compared to what apps exist with ICY or Cydia for JB phones.
@baggss nice sig...I don't know how many times I tried using Twitter and quit, but I recently started using Twitteriffic and have finally found it useful for posting content related stuff (mostly Mac related)...I think the biggest problem with Twitter is when people use it for narcissistic info...like anyone wants to know "I'm standing in line at the grocery."
Really? So you'd be happier to sell software that's broken because of some unforseen bug and wait 8 weeks to release the working fix instead of having customers be able to update it imediately? .
Like so many, I've read the stories & blogs, including the linked one. My conclusion is that having only one outlet for iPhone apps is the largest problem.
...What I'd like to see is an open market just like we have for software we buy for our Macs...An open market gives great flexibility to both developers and users...I'm surprised we haven't seen many users complain about the App Store...The user should be allowed to judge this for them selves as they do with their computer software. Perhaps the bigger user issue is that they do not receive bug fixes in a timely manner. The developer receives all the complaints while Apple is the slow gate keeper who often is the one that should be blamed for the delivery delay.
Open market: good for developers and users.
Big Brother: always has bad consequences.
understatmentYes, Apple is a bit draconian...
...but if (insert assertion here)...I'm willing to live with it...
While I agree that the Devs may have issues and the system could probably be better, I don't agree with you assessment overall.
I'd rather have the choice, than let one source make that and other choices for me.
As seen in the last week, when people who jailbreak their phones don't know what they are doing, they could leave a back door open. .
... then take your using, and more importantly your money, elsewhere. Otherwise it's just whining.
Sorry, while I understand (and really do agree that an open framework would be superior) that's no ones fault but the user. GIGO, period.
...If you don't like how the whole iPhone/iTouch process is run, then take your using elsewhere. Otherwise it's just whining.
The classic "whining defense". Ever notice how us Apple fanatics (including myself) use this sad bit more than most. You either like what Apple does or you're a dissenting whiner...funny stuff.
...Sorry if you don't like it, but it is true.
