Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the Apple business plan myself. Closed-system boutique electronics and very expensive plastic fruit stickers are not my thing. I'm not a fan of total irrelevancy. :-p]]>Sep 10th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/

To be honest, the dev sounded some what of a baby because they didnt' follow the SDK rule.


Welcome to closed source stores. But Palm isn't blocking side loading of apps of course, so I wish them luck as the player is pretty nice.]]>Sep 10th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/

I understand Palm's reasoning and they are perfectly within their rights to reject the app. However, I find it short-sighted on their part. The only use of an undocumented API is to do a read-only query of songs on the phone. They have allowed other devs to use undocumented APIs and they have the ability to test and examine any app before putting it up in the catalog. The app was submitted through a special "presubmission" program only open to developers that Palm approved for their Early Access Program. However, they never got as far as actually trying the app. Their rep simply heard undocumented API and rejected it.

I would hope this very simple and harmless API will become public soon. If and when it does, I will resubmit. In the meantime, check the Homebrew Gallery for release. Once that is done, I will be looking inito writing a version of NaNplayer for Android. ]]>Sep 10th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/
Highest ranked, was the comment that was excerpted from.

Now, just remember, on App Store rejection articles, what happens when someone dares to suggest that Apple are perfectly within their rights to reject apps.

Lowest ranked - guaranteed. Nasty comments about how you'd have to be communist / anti-American / kool-aid drinking / complete fanboy to believe that Apple are within their rights to reject apps - guaranteed.

It is a shame that we cannot have discussions about Apple products without extreme prejudice and bile clogging up the page. It is a real tragedy, though, that Engadget encourages the trolls by providing them with a tool to fade comments they don't like (especially the ones saying that Apple has a right to reject apps - they like to make those comments fade away, but not the identical ones supporting Palm's rights, apparently, it is okay when Palm does it, just not when Apple does it).]]>Sep 10th 2009 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/Sep 10th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/first-palm-app-catalog-rejection-nanplayer/
