How is saying an app won an Android Developer Contest not irrelevant to the iPhone platform? That strikes me as the very definition of irrelevancy, because it's not the same platform.
Err, what? as the name says it's not a platform, it's a *contest*. Contests which your product has won are relevant for selling said product, that's Marketing 101. C'mon, I know the RDF is strong and all but it's not rocket science.
Should Direct2Drive remove Rome: Total Waras well for mentioning they got a Best Strategy Game 2004 award from Gamespot, and Crysis Warhead for using the GOTY award Crysis got from PC Gamer as well?
Furthermore, the original poster is pointing out that many apps in the app store today mention Android. Well you just totally blew by that one, didn't you? How do you mesh you assertion that Android is verboten when plainly it's not by the presence of counter-examples?
By asserting that the Apple censors are on crack and may reject you once then accept you once you resubmit the exact same app, simply because you got a different result on the Rejection Roulette. There's enough precedent for that, and it's also the easiest way to explain *your* assertion that mentioning a competing platform is enough grounds to reject an app, given the very same counter-examples.
