Microsoft to borrow -- and improve -- another Apple innovation
Why should the App Store just be mobile?
App Store successful, but shows flaws
By all accounts Apple's App Store, which offers add-on software for the iPhone and iPod touch through iTunes, has been a success. Despite all that, some users, analysts, and developers are critical of Apple's decision to shoehorn the App store inside of iTunes, using many of the same features that were designed to be used for music, not software.
Apple makes two great iPhone moves
The past few days have seen Apple make two incredibly positive strides when it comes to iPhone development. If you haven't heard, last weekend the company limited App Store reviews to those who had downloaded the product in question. And Wednesday the company announced that the blanket secrecy agreement on iPhone development was being lifted.
Apple should reset all App Store reviews
I'm both disappointed and surprised that it took Apple two months to implement a system that actually connects comments with valid customer accounts--and imparts, on some level, a responsibility for conscientious reviews to the App Store users. But that doesn't change that as it stands today, the App Store is littered with the graffiti of pretenders, complainers and miscreants alike.
