Joe Hewitt, Developer of Facebook App, Quits iPhone Development Over App Store Review Policies

Joe Hewitt:

My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple’s policies. I respect their right to manage their platform however they want, however I am philosophically opposed to the existence of their review process.

Update: Regardless how you feel about Apple’s App Store stewardship, you have to admit there’s at least some irony here.
