We'll investigate these two app complaints and resolve them.
In the end it all really comes down to whether we will ever open up the iPhone for developers to distribute apps on their own, bypassing our store.
As long as we have a store, we have to review apps that go in it, we can't just let anything on an app store that has Apple's name on it.
And as long as there is about 10,000 apps + updates coming through a week there will always be some small level of human error.
Also, last year we rejected the idea of publishing the rules and guidelines used to review apps. It's very long and complicated but I think there will come a time where we are better served to publish them than not. At least we would be more transparent and some of the issue would be reduced (not all).
