Apple rejecting apps that require user registration first?
iOS app Read it Later‘s latest update was rejected by Apple’s App Store team for what is apparently a new (and confusing/troubling) reason: that, “Applications cannot require user registration prior to allowing access to app features and content”. In a blog post, Read it Later developer Nate Weiner said that his minor update to the app was rejected, and that, “The reason for the rejection was one I have not seen before and have not been able to find a single reported instance of after searching around on the web and within the developer forums.” Weiner posted the full email (below) on his blog and also forward it to us:
Ubuntu: ADB/USB
If you are like me and like developing in Linux, then you will find this guide useful. When I was setting up everything for my Android development, I ran into the problem that Linux was not recognizing my Android phone, and took me some time figuring out how to make Linux recognize my phone. Finally, after some research I was able to put this little guide together and decided to share it with the rest of the world. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a handy tool that comes with Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device.
Mobile Web vs. mobile app: When and why
April 14, 2011 Tony Long is senior technologist at Band Digital The world is a big, diverse place where more than 1.7 million species of animals, plants and algae exist, all subject to the same cycle of extinction and evolution that has been taking place over millions of years. It is with this in mind that we briefly explore the various factors that go into pursuing either a mobile Web strategy or a mobile application strategy. The reason for this helpful context is that, in spite of what has been published throughout the business press about mobile Web versus mobile apps, and regardless of what we have all read on the various strengths and weaknesses of the different mobile computing platforms, there need not be one final either/or decision.

Apple Pulls Camera+ From The App Store After Its Developers Reveal A Contraband Feature
The fun’s over, folks*. About a week and a half ago, iPhone developers TapTapTap pushed an updated version of their Camera+ photography app to the App Store, and all seemed well. Just yesterday, however, they revealed (via a message on Twitter that was pulled about 30 minutes after it went out) that this latest build had a hidden feature: by visiting the URL in Mobile Safari, one could make the volume buttons on the side of the iPhone instead act as a camera shutter button — something which Apple had already said was a no-no. Hidden features and tricks that circumvent Apple’s rulings don’t fly for very long — and sure enough: as of right around midnight this morning, Camera+ has been pulled from the App Store. We were able to get the App’s product page to come up once, but attempting to purchase it spit back the standard “The item you tried to buy is no longer available” error that shows whenever anyone’s wrists are being slapped. * Unless you already downloaded the app.

Apps vs the Web - Matt Legend Gemmell
The Financial Times recently launched their new web app, replacing their dedicated iPad app. It’s been widely speculated that this was in response to Apple’s (since relaxed) policy of not allowing publishers to offer cheaper subscriptions outside the App Store than they do within the Store itself, preventing those publishers from offsetting Apple’s margin-destroying 30% cut. I contributed some thoughts on the relative advantages of both approaches (native app vs web app) to the lead news piece in the new issue of .Net magazine, and I’d like to talk a little more about the distinction between native and web apps from the user’s perspective. The first thing to state is that this article isn’t about web technologies themselves. HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and so forth are all excellent technologies, and we all use web apps every day; the web is a thoroughly proven platform. Instead, this is about mobile devices, and our relationship with them.
