With hypocrisy and censorship in tow this morning, Apple has thrown a huge banhammer at a magazine named Android Magasinet, centered around the Android operating system.
The application, created by Dutch publisher Mediaprovider, was banned for reasons currently unknown. For now, it’s all speculation. What’s the reason for the hypocrisy? Apple has approved other Android-specific applications such as Androidworld Reader.
In my own opinion, I have a feeling that Apple’s Guidelines for App Store submissions is somewhat clouded in their minds. I do not think they know where their imaginary censorship line lies and they have no idea when they are crossing it themselves.
What do you guys think about Apple’s censorship and banning of Android Magasinet? Let us know how you feel in the comments!

Apple is such a dumb company. Their success will be their downfall
gottal love em boys… their success at being hypocritical and evil will be their downfall!
Hmmm, is it possible that maybe there’s something wrong with the app? Author said so himself that they have approved other Android specific apps. So if the reason is unknown and anything you say is nothing more than speculation, by all means, lets assume Apple is hypocritical and evil, make up our minds, and move on without ever knowing the real reason. That’s much easier…

Androidworld FTW!
There keeping a fishingline open.
I can’t wait for the “Natural Order” to be restored. Which is: Apple with 10% of the market, and everyone else ignoring Steve Jobs and his army of fanboiz.
“Mediaprovider” and “Android Magasinet” are Danish – not Dutch!
