jarrettwold2002 writes "Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails announced via his Twitter account today, 'Apple rejects the NIN iPhone update because it contains objectionable content. The objectionable content referenced is "The Downward Spiral."' The initial NIN Access iPhone app garnered much fanfare (Wired article, Guardian article) and was approved by Apple. The update has been rejected due to an album reference. If Nine Inch Nails is having problems with censorship and approval what kind of problems are you having with the iPhone app approval process?"
Gee. (Score:5, Funny)
Looking at his Twitter feed, who woulda thought that Trent would be such a boring twit?
Oh, so THAT'S how it got its name.

iGoatse. I'm not really sure why. Once I had submitted it, it was like my application disappeared into a black hole, and I had to do a lot of digging to find out where it had disappeared to. Apple needs to pull their head out of their ass.

Maybe if those other platforms you mentioned had sdks and documentation nearly as nice. I've developed for blackberry, and for android, and it's a crapshoot.
How about Windows Mobile [microsoft.com]?

You're talking about enforcing a very vague and fine line,
I was with you until I got to this point in your post. I'm not sure which you mean...

I understand Apple's position to a certain extent, after the whole baby-shaking incident, but
Does this mean "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles, with lyrics misheard as "We're shakin' a baby now", won't go on iTunes Store?

Indeed. Why would anyone hate on a protocol sublayer? It just doesn't make sense.
