Didn't Apple say that they weren't going to accept apps that already do the same thing as other apps

That would be very annoying.

Choice is good - and with proper categorization and search it would only add value, not remove any. The user-votes should bubble the good stuff to the top, right?

Theoretically. See section 2.8: http://pastie.org/1236378

> Apps that duplicate apps already in the App Store may be rejected, particularly if there are many of them

I've been kinda down on users voting on things, lately. I mean, on Reddit, does voting ensure that the best things actually go to the top?

Also, you're assuming that users actually want this; most people want a decision made for them. At least, that's what the data I've seen from a few different sites has shown.
