Apple Reconsiders, Approves NIN iPhone App

gyrogeerloose writes "According to MacRumors, NIN's iPhone application has been approved. Trent Reznor has reported via his Twitter account that the now-approved app was resubmitted without modification, which suggests that Apple reconsidered their initial rejection. This should really come as no surprise to anyone who follows Apple news since it follows the company's typical pattern of handing potentially controversial iPhone apps, especially when it concerns high-profile rejections."

I've not listened to the song, but I am going to make some assumptions here: It has foul language, has a violent and/or sexual message.

That's considered thought provoking? No, that's just laziness.

Now, if I am wrong, it is because it really does have a thought provoking message on the status of culture, politics, religion, whatever. More points if it leaves out the foul language, violent and/or sexual messages... which, as I say, is laziness.

Good to see Trent's music is still "controversial" (thought provoking?) after 15 years.

It's not.

He's a fat ageing washed up prick who gets makes his money making little emo kids think they're anti-establishment by listening to his music and buying all the NIN branded merchandise like the good little consumers they are.

Sure he offends illiterate rednecks in the bible belt but teletubbies do that too in fact just about anyone different to them will offend them.

Android is cool, but nobody has an Android phone.

Reznor is such a tool. He needs to get off the anti-depressants, crawl out from whatever rock he resides under and visit this place called the Internet once in a while.

According to this hunk of PR, the T-Mobile G1 is ranked fifth in sales in the U.S. right now. Yes, it doesn't sell in the numbers of the (#2) iPhone or the various RIM models, but that's not bad considering the phone choices in the market. Also consider that the G1 appears to have sold itself through a lot of word-of-mouth, considering how little T-Mo has actually advertised the G1.

He also needs to learn that Android is currently being tested on a few dozen different phones from a bunch of different manufacturers, as well as on netbooks and other portable devices. The Android Market is far more open than the Apple app market. If the Android system winds up on as many devices as it's being tested or proposed for, in addition to the few million G1s sold globally already, he's going to miss out on a big market.

Frankly, I don't care. I always wondered what the big deal was about his music anyway. Especially if he needs to prop up something he recorded 15 years ago.
