Sad to know that someone probably poured a lot of heart into this and now it goes down the tubes.

However, be ye warned: This is what happens when you base everything on somebody else, whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Google or whomever. They can crush you in an instant, and often it's just because you're too insignificant to matter to them.

Don't forget to include Apple in that group...

How does Apple belong to that group? They (also) sell hardware and people pay for them. Unlike url shorteners or twitter etc..

Apple iphone store economics? They have developers in the hundreds of thousands, basing your business on it and pretending they care is mostly the same thing.

For iPhone developers. If Apple decides it doesn't like you, it will cut off your only source of revenue for your product. And they have proven to be capable of that.
