As an iPhone user who bought and loves Tweetie, I have a message for Apple: Let me decide if I give a frak about bad words in my trends. from the other developer who commented on having to build a bad words filter for their app, I'm worried we're getting
Sum1, has a b up Thor collective arse's. If I wish 2 swear, who the hell r Apple 2 tell me otherwise. Wake up people, we live in a real world! GDI wot a load of Male Bovine Ecrement!
Guess we need to add a bad word filter to Safari too. And Mail.app. And Twitteriffic. And... I think we see where this is going. Apple is being majorly anal about this.
We just had the same issue with our new Twitter Weather app called "Human Weather". One of the comments contained a bad word and they rejected the app. We had to develop a "bad word" filter and now they have approved it! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObject

I like the Cydia idea. It lets "bad" apps like Qik, Flixwagon, Snapture, and especially ClearCam still be sold. Plus, Apple doesn't get a cut.

Perhaps mobile safari should also be rejected, because it's also capable of displaying cuss words.

Is it because Trends has swearwords, or because the screenshot of Tweetie u want Apple to display has swearwords?

That's exactly why I'll never buy the iPhone (let alone develop for it) until you can legally install apps from other sources.
