iPhone application graveyard
Peter Hosey is a Mac developer who’s worked on two of my favorite programs, Growl and Adium. He’s also maintaining a list of iPhone apps that have died; which is to say, have been rejected by Apple for inclusion in the iTunes App Store.
“...when Apple bans an application from their App Store (especially an application that the developer was selling), they effectively kill the application. Dead. It has no practical future on the iPhone OS.
This page lists every application that Apple has killed, along with the reason that they stated for doing so, and what has happened to the app since.
This list is only for apps whose removal Apple was involved in. Another developer can threaten you on any platform, but on the iPhone platform, one party (Apple) controls the platform and can remove you for any reason. If that party isn’t involved, that removal doesn’t belong on this list.
Hosey also points out a list of iPhone games which were removed on threat from other developers.
