Pull My Finger?

[melwan]

I was browsing the different apps on Appshopper.com and couldn't help noticing the app "Pull My Finger".

Few months ago, Apple rejected this app or a very similar one (as far as I remember), but now it is on the App store. Is Apple becoming less strict? I remember the developer of the app made a fuss about Apple's decision few months ago, but that did not change Apple's position.

You thoughts?

It's out, I picked it up so I could write something on my blog. It's 99 cents, but when I think about it, thats less than a pack of gum so even if it only makes me laugh for 30 mins I guess it's paid for itself

Apple's introduced a new category for these kinds of apps. Um... er... yay-ish?

ah great, now a whole bunch of useless apps will be pouring in. iFart Mobile is leading the pack?

I am pro strict app filtering through Apple. I don't want to scroll through 8000 useless junk to browse the 2000 potentially useful apps!!!

One man's junk is another's treasure. The system should be fixed to make it easier to find stuff you want, not filter stuff you don't.

In another 6 months I bet the only way to find apps will be without outside advertising and iTunes will just be a distribution service, kind of like how the music works.
