The saga surrounding Apple's policies concerning the App Store hasn't reached its climax just yet. After several seemingly arbitrary application rejections, high profile developers quitting iPhone development, and Apple adding a non-disclosure clause to its App Store rejection emails, we now have another high-profile Mac developer contemplating giving up iPhone development. Craig Hockenberry, of The Iconfactory, has written a public letter to Steve Jobs, detailing his worries that Apple's restrictive App Store policies are detrimental to the young platform.

Apple has always been too demanding and restrictive. The iPhone killer maybe its own app store if this keeps up.
I actually grabbed the development kit. Never really worked with it, reading the documentation and general feel of the SDK always gave me a "hacker's not welcome" feeling. And I don't mean the viruses and rootkits type hackers, I mean the, "invent the next generation of cool stuff" type hackers. The rejection notes and NDAs only shores up this feeling.
