Submission + - Phil Schiller Responds To iPhone App Rejection (daringfireball.net)
bonch writes: Phil Schiller has responded to the controversy over Apple's rejection of the iPhone dictionary app, Ninjawords. It turns out Apple simply told them to resubmit the app after parental controls were implemented in iPhone OS 3.0, because the app "provided access to other more vulgar terms than those found in traditional and common dictionaries, words that many reasonable people might find upsetting or objectionable." To get to market sooner, Ninjawords decided to filter its own dictionary before parental controls were implemented--Apple didn't request any censorship.
