The jury’s out on just how Apple plans to control the flow of iPhone applications, once its App Store launches in June. Will it give accredited developers free rein to release as many apps as they like, or will it restrict the number so as not to overwhelm iPhone users? It could go either way.
What is clear, though, is that Apple is keeping a fairly tight rein on the number of developers it accredits, having rejected many who applied for its iPhone Developer Program last month. However, those reins were just loosened a little bit, with iPhone Atlas reporting that a number of those rejected developers have just received a follow-up letter, telling them they’re in.
This expansion is A Good Thing, since ideally there’ll be as many accredited developers as possible coming up with innovative iPhone apps. We’re looking forward to seeing the fruits of their labours come June.
