Apple Bans Android Magazine App From App Store
recoiledsnake writes "Apple dialed its battle with Android up a notch today by banning an Android magazine app from its App Store, leaving no way for users to install the app on iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches without jailbreaking. The reason for rejection, as given by an Apple rep, was: 'You know... your magazine...It's just about Android.... we can't have that in our App Store.' The bi-monthly publication — the Android counterpart to an iPhone magazine Dixon began putting out earlier this year — launched Nov. 11. 'It's funny really because I don't think we would sell many magazines on Android through Apple App Store,' Dixon told Media Watch. 'But the question is where this is going.' This comes on the heels of Jobs lashing out at Android, calling it fragmented, and its patent attacks on Android."
Really? Desperation? Is that what it is?
No, that's what it's.

Hey now.
Microsoft is evil and would never do something good like this.
Get your facts straight.
Sure. You want fries with that?

No. A monopoly only requires a lockout of all competition. It has nothing to do with market size. Such a monopoly may be natural (There's only one Mona Lisa), legally enforced (eg. Telecom companies), or the result of corporate manipulation. For example, if Spengler included a special connector that forced you to use only Spengler accessories on your Spengler Automatic Shoe Lace Tying machine, they would have a monopoly on producing accessories for Spengler Automatic Shoe Lace Tying machines.
Of course, why anyone would use something other than a genuine Spengler accessory on their Spengler Automatic Shoe Lace Tying machine is beyond me. I mean, the Spengler Aglet Polisher Attachment alone is worth its weight in gold.

Nice of you to highlight your mistake there. Now the spelling Nazis won't bother to reply.
Odd, I'd assumed they were ads provided through Google's mobile ads service which embeds ads into otherwise free applications from the appstore.
But my Android phone is currently with an iPhone developer so I can't check directly..
