Just when you thought it was safe to submit an update to the App Store, there comes word from the developer of Instapaper, a popular, easy to use offline web page viewer for the iPhone and iPod touch, that an update to his application has been rejected because of “trademark infringement” for the use of the mini-iPhone icon pictured in the image above. On his blog, Marco writes that he submitted his update to Instapaper Pro and 9 days later he was notified that Apple would not be publishing his update unless he removed or changed the icon in question. Instead of trying to fight the issue with Apple, he says that he plans to design a different icon and then resubmit the update, hoping it gets approved. What is your opinion about this latest App Store rejection? Do you think Apple has a valid reason for not approving this update, or do you think this is yet another example of them demonstrating the lawlessness that is the App Store approval process?

Here they go again. It is insane that Apple rejects apps the way they do. They are hurting developers for not being clear and over bearing!!
Approve Instapaper and dont hustle them!!
