iPhone Savior —
... "This is getting interesting." Source: JoelComm.com Thanks to the newly baptized Cult of iPhone recruits coming into the fold from Walmart, I'm certain Mr. Comm is well on his way to a half million of net profits from iFart in no time. I can't wait to see what kind of 'gold rush' ideas the instant success of iFart brings to some twisted developers. iQueff anyone? Apple will never have it! Or will they?

What's in a name... on the App Store?
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
... , ultimately you can only have one iFart app in the store. Oh sure, you can have 60+ fart apps total (scientists estimate by 2025 there will be over 2 million fart apps available), but you can't have two apps with the same name. Even tacking on "the" or similar prefixes won't help (suffixes like MK-II may work, but we haven't tried). The question I'm asking is: what's in a name? Would a fart app by any other name sell as well? And should developers worry their app name will be taken by the time they submit their app? ...

Because iFarting is serious business
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
... / Opinion, Software, Odds and ends, Freeware, Apple, iPhone, App Store, iPod touchWe were just fine with letting this story dissipate right into the air like so many bad smells, as it's not exactly the most impressive thing to ever happen in the App Store. But in the interests of completionism, we'll bring it to you anyway.
First, there were two apps that made fart noises, called Pull My Finger and iFart. Then, there was allegedly some inappropriate twittering (and shady iPhone reviewing -- we ...
Apple’s Stance on iPhone App Language is Silly. I Swear!
Technologizer —
... Apple’s decision to effectively give the App Store a monopoly on iPhone software distribution put the company in a position of huge responsibility. I’m not saying it needs to accept every app submitted to the store, or even that it’s unreasonable to have guidelines of taste. (Me, I wouldn’t slit my wrists if fart apps disappeared, nor would I defend to my death their developers’ rights to have them distributed by Apple.) ...
Apple, Grow up: It’s Time to Fix App Store Approvals
iPodObserver —
... when said employee doesn't understand the functions of the application? It's obvious to all who use Twitter what the word trend feature is, how it is generated and how applications have no control over that feature. It's also obvious that those words will change over time. So rejecting the app based on functionality it has no control over makes no sense. It's not Tweetie's fault that at times Twitter users can be a foul mouthed bunch. What about apps like the completely ridiculous iFart or ...

App Store developers started to complain about slow payment of royalties from Apple. The ubiquity of iPhone flatulence applications became a running joke. And now comes word that popular industial rockers Nine Inch Nails have had their iPhone app turned down, because of naughty language. iphone-nin.png Which all leads to the question: Why is Apple in the business of selling iPhone applications anyway? Although best known as an operating ...
The App Store Turns 1: A dozen distinctive apps
Macworld —
Posted on by Macworld Staff , Macworld.com Since the App Store opened its doors a year ago , more than 50,000 iPhone apps have found a place on Apple’s virtual shelves. And we have to be honest here—a solid majority of those 50,000 apps are not all that memorable. But just as assuredly, there are more than a few apps that have made a name for themselves in the past year and, in their own way, helped make the App Store the success story that it is. We’re not necessarily talking about the best iPhone apps here—we listed our favorite iPhone apps at the end of 2008 (and we’ll do so ...
Could Adobe potentially harm the iPhone AppStore
O'Reilly Media: Mac and iPhone —
... a quality approach here? If there is an inherent flaw or problem with the way it distills down to native code, it can potentially ruin a lot of peoples incomes or dreams fast. Overall, going forward Adobe need to play this next round of Industry chess carefully, as Apple isn't easily bullied for one and secondly having lots of Apps in the appstore is fine, but right now the problem with the iPhone AppStore is there are too many applications (yes I said it, too many). Finding the next iFart solution isn't getting any easier, and it's resembling much like WordPress plugins ...
