It really highlights the ridiculousness of apps having to go though Apple’s store. Why we can’t we buy apps independently, the same way we can buy programs for our computers independently?

Imagine if all our software had to be Windows or Mac approved… shivers

Imagine if Firefox had been banned because it duplicated the functionality of IE or Safari…

Other mobile devices work just fine being able to access independent programs. Maybe the various anti-competitive bodies need to stop focusing on Microsoft and start hassling Apple – if this isn’t harmful anti-competitive behaviour, I don’t know what is.

This nonsense has me considering ditching my iPhone (I’m within 30 days) and getting the G1.

ps. props to those who have been writing iphone apps and making money from the “one mail app is enough” drones hand over fist.

The iPhone Mail app is so limited that if this gmail app allowed you to do something as minor as star a message then it would be better than the native mail app.

I disagree with Apple on this one because I think business users would like more options than the built in (and very weak) PIM. I hope they dont deny Pocket Informant’s iPhone app. Hell, if PI let’s you set better calendar alarms then that would be lightyears ahead of the iPhone’s provided calendar app.

And finally, I don’t think that a gmail app would cause any “user confusion” at all. Thanks Apple, you know what’s best.

We don’t need another mail app? Are you serious? What about choice, what about differences in functionality? What about different strengths and weaknesses that each app has. Some are better than others, some display information in a way that is more pleasing or useful to users with particular needs or wants.

I find this “Apple has already built one, we don’t need another” astonishing.

Bow, tug your forlock, and move on, serfs…

We do not need a second mail app. Especially one that does not use native GUI. Apple should encourage users to build apps needed by the community, and deny those that it accepted such as "pull my finger" that waste users time. apple tends to let in the apps that are serve no purpose or have 4 different versions of the same app, and deny ones that are legit. This app is not the case though. It does duplicate the functionality of Mail.app.</p> I agree with Apple on this one. We do not need a second mail app. Especially one that does not use native GUI.
