Same here. Page shows .421 but iTunes continues to download .417

Bamber's Australian, not British…

Same here. My rate plans are the same as they have been. Maybe it will roll out later? Or maybe it's because I just changed my plan in June. Oh well.

I've got a question for the next Ask TUAW:

Now that iPhone 3.x software finally synchronizes with the Notes store in Leopard (to the delight of many), I'm reminded that the only way I know of to access those notes is via Mail.app. For those Mac users who don't use Mail, is there some other application or method that exists to interact with the Notes store? If not, it sure seems like that'd be a great opportunity for some Mac developer.

I see the Perseids most years. Saw six of them in about 20 minutes this evening.

Marvin,

The thing is, the App Store is unlike any other store which is "COMPLETELY FREE TO DECIDE WHICH PRODUCTS THEY WISH TO GIVE 'SHELF SPACE' TO."

What other store makes the manufacturer pay $100 to even be considered a manufacturer? What other manufacturer has only a single sales outlet and can have no other retail outlet for their wares should the store arbitrarily decide to take away "shelf space"? In your analogy, Marvin, the manufacturer could simply look for other vendors to sell their products. In the case of iPhone applications, where else (mainstream, non-shady) can they go?

What about a someone who lays out the money to start a company, goes out and gets VC funding, hires designers and coders, expends money on marketing, etc. and develops an app that, for all they know, is within the bounds set by the vendor (Apple's App Store) and has cost them tens of, hundreds of, or millions of dollars? They then submit their app to the App Store and see it arbitrarily rejected. Marvin, where do they then go to sell this app? Who's going to pay back the investors?

Like you, I am against the nanny state (in fact, I fight hard against it). And though what Apple is doing is likely not illegal (though these actions probably do run afoul of pro-competition statutes), this behavior is going to lead to fewer and fewer individuals and companies willing to make such an unpredictably risky investment. And, we will, to borrow from another poster, end up with a Walled Garden of Flatulence Apps.

Yeah, I see it now if I scroll way down. Thanks.

App Store link in article is bad. Goes to PhotoMarkr, not Harbor Master. Further, a search for "harbor" in the iTunes Store gave no app results.
