I definitely accept what you have stated. Actually, I browsed throughout your additional blogposts and I do believe that you're absolutely correct. Best wishes with this particular blog.

I’d come to settle with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

I learn a lot of blogs not long ago and yours is 1 from the best. I enjoy reading your posts - clear and effectively written. Your page goes straight to my bookmarks. I got some good inspirational thoughts after studying it.

Intriguing strategy. I'm suprised I didn't notice this on any of the big news sites first.Well played!

We're just unlucky it didn't truthfully report:

"Sent from my aluminum unibody iPhone 4G"

If anyone has one...

I would have thought Jobs would change the signature. Maybe...

"sent from the iPhone"

Steve's reply is entirely consistent with the Apple way: Concise and to the point.

@obligatoryjoke: That was funny!

I hope the return of Real Steve bodes well for an outstanding iPhone upgrade next summer (don't shoot your wad on the tablet-thingy that is, or isn't coming out).

Everyone can complain all they want but, for now, the rules are the rules. Why would Jobs make an exception for one developer? He wouldn't. Change the name. iRip sounds a million times better anyway. What other kind of response did the developer expect?

BTW - I quite enjoy the iPhone sig. It sounds a lot nicer than "Sent from my Verizon Wireless Blackberry". Now that's gay.

That is cool. Atleast he was courteous.

He just had to send it from his iPhone didn't he.

@KP:

And that led me to wonder, how DO you guys get away with a name like The iPhone Blog?

Maybe that's why Rene feels compelled to play the fawning fanboy...

I was trying to think of all the cases I knew of where this has happened (which are many, and the dev should suck it up IMO), and I was reminded of one somehow involved with this site, but couldn't quite remember. Did PhoneDifferent used to be called iPhone Different?

And that led me to wonder, how DO you guys get away with a name like The iPhone Blog?

Not sure John actually ever wrote an email...

By: obligatoryjoke

obligatoryjoke — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:21:52 +0000

Of course it is no big deal. Just like this mail, sent every year for 19 years:

Steve --

Change your company's name. Not that big of a deal.

John, Paul, George, Ringo

@Icebike, I'm waiting for that day too.

If I couldn't trust people not to post my emails all over the internet, I'd keep them brief too.

And trust Joe McG to introduce an offensive note into the discussion with his use of the term "faggetty". Misspelled, of course.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, "It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument".

By: Icebike

Icebike — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:46:38 +0000

Well the obvious question is how long till Rene gets the Dread "Change your blog name. Not that big of a deal" email.

And how many jokesters are pecking thi into their phones right now?

By: Joe McG

Joe McG — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:37:36 +0000

I find it funny that he has the faggetty default signature "Sent from my iPhone". This is probably why the iPhone doesn't allow different signatures for different email accounts; because Steve Almighty doesn't use it.

Sorry if I don't want to respond to customers with "Sent from my iPhone"

@leanna lofte

ouch!

I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but has Steve Jobs ever been onto this site? I mean did he ever make a comment or something. I'm sure he's busy and all, but ehhh.

Do you really believe that Steve Jobs would respond to someone. LOL

Now let's see if he can send a "curt reply" to whoever is mismanaging the iPhone app-rejection process.

By: Leanna Lofte

Leanna Lofte — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:50:48 +0000

LOL!!! And he even has a typo! (should be app's). But I guess we can let that slide since it was sent from his iPhone.
