AppStore Intrigue

This doesn't bode well for any of us. Apparently Nullriver Inc created an iPhone app that allows for tethering to a PC (Not sure if by PC they mean specifically a Windows computer). They put the app up on AppStore, Apple approved it. And then, out of nowhere, Apple removed it! No explanation. They later put it back, but now it is gone again. And again, no explanation.

Well let that be a lesson to all of us. Don't go writing apps that might give Apple or AT&T a poopy diaper. You can inject your own level of sarcasm in that statement.

By the way! Nullriver must really have it going on. Their other iPhone app, Tuner completely kicks butt. Why isn't that exact functionality already included in the iPod app?
