Was the relaunch of Tapbots' Camera+ featured? I don't think so, and it would seem weird for Apple to do it, after they initially blocked it - considering that it would look like a concession on their part - but I'm not completely sure.

Tapbots is one of the really big guys on the app scene, and I wouldn't put it past them to pull something like this off without Apple's help.

But people obviously shouldn't assume that they could follow in their footsteps.

I don't recall Camera+'s relaunch being featured and I agree, I don't see Apple featuring it after they pulled it from the store.

However, Taptaptap (not Tapbots) has a massive mailing list that they leverage whenever they have a product launch. That definitely helps!
