Comment on LIBRARY REJECTED: Unity3D (for private APIs. Again!) by Jens Fursund

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that the most recent version of the Unity beta (beta 4), has this issue fixed, so you can freely resubmit your application. Mind you that we are still working hard to make the Unity 3 an awesome release, and beta releases like beta 3 is bound to have problems.

Why would Apple change it’s (vague, inconsistent) policies? It has no reason to when developers are stumbling all over it to develop an application for it.

Comment on ACCEPTED: Opera Web Browser (despite “competing” with Apple’s browser) by Someone

Opera Mini is not a full web browser. At best, it is an fancy image viewer. All content is rendered on Opera servers, then an image is shuttled over.

It’s considerably gimped compared to any other browser, but fine if you’re concerned about bandwidth or whatnot.

The MLB At Bat Lite app does almost the same thing. There are numerous buttons to let you watch or listen to the games, but you must upgrade to the premium version. Once you upgrade (I did), you actually are supposed to upgrade AGAIN to some subscription service or other (I didn’t bother).

@Aaron

I’m sorry if you read it that way. I’m not sure what anti-Apple spin you’re seeing here?

As far as the browser is concerned, it’s not perfect – but it does have an *enormous* userbase on mobile, and its abscence from iPhone has long been noticeable. Mobile Safari has some *major* issues (like the lack of caching, and the general slow speed even over wifi).

Personally, I like to see *choice* (and it’s definitely better in some ways – the speed increase even over 3G is very noticeable here in Europe).
