C64 Emulator Finally Approved For iPhone

Gi0 writes "After a couple of months of rejection, the C64 Emulator has finally been approved for the iPhone (and is available at the app store now). 'BASIC has been removed for this release; however, we hope that working with Apple further will allow us to re-enable it. Despite its absence, BASIC is not our focus; ultimately, fans of the C64 want games.' It comes with 5 bundled games and will certainly give you that retro fix for your iPhone."

Re:C64 without BASIC?

Nice try Apple, but if you open your OS development environment to those who don't buy your latest OS and hardware and/or if you allow Java applications, you might eventually have as many applications as other phones in the global marketplace.

Hahaha did you seriously make that statement?

Do you think Apple gives a fuck? They are out selling EVERYONE, in phones AND apps. Yes, they have a little while to catch up with the other phone OSes that have been around FAR longer, but thats because they haven't been around as long.

Why is it slashdotters can't grasp the fact that Apple doesn't need to cater to your retarded whims in order to make a freaking killing? If you think the iPhone is 'hurting' because of the development process then you've lived in a box for at least 2 years.

Show me another phone that got its first 3rd party/unbundled apps a little over 2 years ago with a billion downloads for it. Go ahead, I'll wait.
