  Apple is quite protective of the uses of their devices and although they allow the development of "apps" -- they made waves recently when they denied the app that allows people to download and listen directly to podcasts w/out synching w/ the computer. Mobile itunes doesn't offer this feature.
  
  So, there is "open" and truly "open." Iphone apps store isn't really open, if this is true.

  • The developer who has already had his iPhone app denied from Apple's App Store and had his ability to issue Ad Hoc licenses of the app revoked by Apple is hoping that the third time's a charm
  • Podcaster first made news last month when Sokirynsky made it known that his application had been rejected from the App Store for duplicating the functionality of iTunes. The third-party app allows users to download podcasts to their iPhones or iPod touches. Users could then listen to the podcasts immediately instead of having to sync with a computer first.
  • Apple then denied Sokirynsky the ability to distribute any more ad hoc copies of the application.
