Apple Accepts, Then Rejects BitTorrent iPhone App

An anonymous reader writes "Apple recently approved an iPhone app called IS Drive, which lets users check and manage downloads from ImageShack.us, while also offering users the option to use the company's BitTorrent service to download files to their ImageShack account. Once Apple got wind of what the app was capable of, however, it was promptly removed from iTunes."

It's not so hard.
If your application do something useful, it's probably on their list.
If it's only nice looking fluff, it will be accepted.

Knowledgeable people in QA are very hard to get.
They probably just make sure:
1-they got their $
2-the forms are filled out OK
3-it installs OK (no errors or breaks iOS)
4-that they can remotely remove it.

It doesn't take a "Genius" to do this. (Pun intended)

What does the app do is an after though
