It was a pretty innocent app as all it did was display the glowing red Droid eye and some slides about the Droid's capabilities, but you must admit that the refusal is not very surprising. I just don't know why Apple really cares though."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/zt/auto/1259592146.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>I don't know why Apple cares either, seems silly for something like this to be rejected, but I guess an app advertising a competing product crosses the line. &nbsp;What are your thoughts?</p>

perfectly legitimate reason to reject the app. Apple has every right to protect their brand - I can't see Pepsi allowing advertisement for Coke products on their trucks or billboards...

Although the iPhone has become such an icon in society I really think that in two years time we won't be hearing much about the DROID and still be hearing a ton about the iPhone...

I'd rather have "I Am Rich" back- as freeware.
