Apple Threatens Developers Over iPhone OS 3.0 Compatibility Rules

Our Comments

The move by Apple is putting the onus on the developers to make sure that they have ironed out any issues. It will also serve as a litmus test to separate the boys from the men and is a step towards the "professionalisation" of Apple's platform. This may ultimately mean less free applications but more revenues for Apple.
