Apple really upset the developer community last month when it rejected several podcasting applications from being approved to the iPhone App Store. With the upcoming 2.2 iPhone software the real reason may now be known!
It appears that Apple has added stand alone downloading of podcast directly to your iPhone without the need of using iTunes in version 2.2.
If indeed this is what they have done, it proves that Apple was Anti-Competitive in denying the applications that were made for this same purpose. Their heave handed actions was to get rid of the competition before they added their own functionality.
I remain committed to only building Android Applications due to this apparent anti-competitive nature that Apple has. Thanks JW for the Tip

Todd,
That's really too bad that you're not going to be on the iPhone platform. You'll be missing a huge opportunity there.
Have you heard the latest on the Google phone and it's huge security flow? Do you know why this security flaw is possible? It's due to it's openness nature. A rouge site can run code on the Google phone.
So sadly I and millions of other customers will not be able to check your application and it's not a good business to limit you exposure.

Why would we develop a iPhone application for podcasting when Apple has already denied 2 others that were already developed for the Apple App Store/
Read the story that is linked on the word rejected above. Apple is being selective in approving applications. If I spend $10,000 on developing a iPhone Application and they deny it because it impacts something they are doing internally I loose my investment and time.
Not worth the risk!
