I often tend to make partially facetious references to Apple’s corporate ideology. Tyranny, Evil Empire and Third Reich are just some of the references I have used to describe that company that most of us love to hate. But the latest chutzpah from Cupertino has me questioning the humor equation. Apple has apparently banned the use of the word Android from the App Store. An app called Flash of Genius was submitted to the App Store and in the description was the following: ‘Finalist in Google’s Android Developer’s Challenge!’ Apple's response was ‘Providing future platform compatibility plans or other general platform references are not relevant in the context of the iPhone App Store. While your application has not been rejected, it would be appropriate to remove “Finalist in Google’s Android Developer’s Challenge!” from the Application Description.’ This also means ‘Get rid of it or else! 'Not relevant to the context of the iPhone App Store' is laughable. It shows a good performance record which is very relevant to consumers. ‘Heil Jobs’ is all I have to say.
