Why not just put a label inside the iphone box or a peel-off sticker on the screen that says this device provides access to the internet and leave it at that.

This stupid situation where anything embedding a browser has to bear a pop-up warning but Safari itself does not is utterly stupid. Why does Apple only hire brain dead lawyers?

Call me bac when they have fixed the REAL problem here, rather than the un-intended consequences.

The "problem" is not so much any individual issue -- it is the whole throw-the-pasta-against-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks approach to app store rules.

Developing an application is tough. Running a business is tougher. Not being able to know if you can sell your application until after you have spent your capital, when you can release it if passes, or under what restrictions when it does get released -- that adds a whole new dimension of difficulty, and of risk.

That so many developers have made so many good applications despite the shifting sand underneath them is a testament to how good the underlying platform is. That so many developers are willing to speak out publicly despite NDAs and despite an arbitrary punishment system is testament to how much developer resentment is bubbling up against Apple.

Please, Apple. Rules are fine, but define them clearly, and apply them consistently. That is all most of your developers want.

For all the "problems", Apple has for the most part been willing to listen - and resolve most issues.
