Apple Asks Toyota Take Down Cydia Ad, Toyota Complies

“Apple also heard about the theme and ad campaign. I received a call from our contact at Velti this evening as well as an email asking me to please take the theme out of Cydia. On the phone, he explained Apple had contacted Toyota and requested they remove the theme and stop the advertising campaign. They (Velti) in turn contacted me relaying the message. The reason Velti listed for the removal request of the theme emailed through our dev portal was ‘Toyota’s making us take it down…’ Toyota had agreed to do so to ‘maintain their good relationship with Apple’, our Velti contact told me on the phone.”
