When the AppStore was announced during the WWDC, we were questioning how strict and unbiased the selection of applications will be. Recent examples prove that we were right. Everything started when Apple authorized on the AppStore the application NetShare from Nullriver. It allows you to turn you iPhone into a modem in order to surf on the web from your Mac. Apple changed his mind and kicked the application away from the AppStore, for no real reason as it does not violate the AppStore guidelines, but rather make exclusive carrier quite annoyed to see iPhone owners surfing for free from their Mac.
Apple also refused Podcaster, a small application allowing you to download Podcast for the reason that it would compete with iTunes features, so Cupertino decided that its key application will not have any competitors
