I doubt it will come back to haunt Apple. Look around here, Apple is a mainstay. It does show how Apple operates, yet again... but if you look at the increasing numbers, it hasn't had any negative affect on them, oddly.
Have you sold all your Apple devices yet?
How could it have a negative affect already- it just happened?
No but I'm was almost ready to mail my Apple TV off to the Land of the Misfit Toys but I actually started enjoying it this weekend with its new GUI. It only took 3 years.

Remember the Google Voice App? That caused a stir. This isn't the first of this kind of thing. Its been happening a while, with no negative impact.

I'm sorry, but until you get rid of all your Apple devices, then your complaints here are too hypocritical. If you are so unhappy with Apple as you seem, then don't spend your money there. Apple products tend to have a decent re-sell value. Replace your ATV with a home built ION machine and run XBMC on it. Heck, for roughly 150 more bucks, you can add your blueray and TV tuner! (or at least put XBMC on your ATV for free!)

Remember his ?ALL my friends with iPhones can NEVER make a call due to AT&T? just to have to him later get an iPhone because it got a video camera yet we don?t seem to be hearing about ALL his friends with iPhones that can NEVER make a call anymore. Funny how that works. \

Indeed. I have my moments too though, like the most of us. This one has a clear answer to his "troubles".
As for that quote, I just read in Consumer Reports about cell companies. AT&T ranked lowest in most markets for consumer satisfaction. However, the iPhone was ranked the highest. Same with Apple computers. (Doesn't mean I'll ever get them again!)

The average person really don't about what is rejected by Apple as long as he/she finds what he/she wants.

In teckstud logic you are a fanboy/cool-aid drinker if you buy Apple products because they fit your needs. You are a normal person if you don't like Apple products but keep buying them anyway. Like whining about how crappy is AT&T and the iPhone and then go ahead and buy one, bash the Magic Mouse and complain that Apple didn't give enough discount for you to buy it, whine about AppleTV and not selling it.. etc

That will likely remain the same for sometime. It?ll take awhile for AT&T to make the complete move to 850MHz, get better coverage (which is more difficult than people think) and get on top fo the data usage issue brought on by the iPhone.
No one here has denied that AT&T sucks in many ways, but that doesn?t mean that AT&T isn?t a viable mobile operator for one?s needs, either. I thought I?d never go back Cingular (now called AT&T) but decided that I wanted the iPhone so I?d give them a try. I used my 30 day trial period to test the crap out of their network. I was expecting something a lot worse than I got.
PS: I went to Walnut Creek, CA for Thanksgiving. What a shitty area for AT&T. You are lucky to get any service in certain areas and can see it flip from 3G to EDGE to GPRS to No Service and back all while standing in the same place. If I lived here I would either have an iPhone on T-Mobile, or a different phone on a different carrier.

Don?t forget that Teckstudian Logic also states that if you complain that the product revision isn?t good enough (ie: camera resolution or flash capacity) that you are not only making a prediction of what Apple will introduce at a later date but are also directly responsible for the inevitable upgrade due to your complaining.
I'm amazed that people here are actually surprised that Apple rejected this 'iDroid' application, or that they would reject advertisements for competing products. Or that they would be under any sort of obligation, moral or otherwise, and for any reason at all, to do so.
Everytime a Windows user needs to update Apple's iTunes program for upteenth time they get an default Safari download (basically an advertisement) that they have to disengage- OK? Let's see the reaction from the fanbots if Microsoft rejects that mumbo-combo.
Your analogy has (at least) two signifiant flaws:
1) Even if the user was compelled to down load Safari (which is a dubious claim), Apple is not selling it. Safari provides a useful FREE tool and it no way requires the user to buy anything to use it, nor does it require the user to switch platforms to use. So it's not really a competitor to the Windows OS.
2) More importantly, Apple is it no way asking Microsoft to host and distribute Safari to the end user. It costs MS not a penny. It's not as if Apple asks MS to provide Safari via Windows Update as a security patch for IE.
It should be rejected whether an ad or not simply for being lame.
I see competeing adds in the banners of free apps, it was more likely rejected because all it is is an add for droid. Apple has every right to decide they won't allow people to use their store as a billboard service.
How could it have a negative affect already- it just happened?
No but I'm was almost ready to mail my Apple TV off to the Land of the Misfit Toys but I actually started enjoying it this weekend with its new GUI. It only took 3 years.
No app rejection to date, that is, NO APP REJECTION TO DATE, has had any kind of significant effect on Apple. Not even Google Voice.
Rejecting a Droid marketing app is at most, something rather amusing, and at worst, something everyone outside these fansites will barely notice. LOL, assuming anyone really cares about the Droid.
It does end next year, and it ends this year. Why that concept is so hard for you grasp is beyond me, but I guess 10 is big number to some people. If you lost a couple digits in special ed wood shop you might want to consider using.
Favorite TeckStud comments (paraphrased): ?I don?t know what year the calendar started because I wasn?t there and neither we you so you can?t say it started at year one when it could have started with year zero", ?Bill Gates invented the two-button mouse? and ?Newton didn?t discover gravity, he invented gravity.?
I've never said any of those three "comments"-paraphrased or otherwise. Prove it.
Remember his “ALL my friends with iPhones can NEVER make a call due to AT&T” just to have to him later get an iPhone because it got a video camera yet we don’t seem to be hearing about ALL his friends with iPhones that can NEVER make a call anymore. Funny how that works. \
AT&T upgraded their crap network this past August in NewYork, New Jersey and Long Island. Where've you been? I'm sorry-don't answer that- it may be too painful.
No one here has denied that AT&T sucks in many ways,
YES, YOU HAVE- FOR YEARS!
And FYI- the new Apple Tv GUI is so nice now that my movies, my music, my photos are all at the top of the list- unlike what you said in that I would never get (and which I championed from day one I may add) that as it wasn't the priority of the AppleTV's objective.
Funny, isn't it, how everything I ask for comes to fruition in spite of your nonsensical dismissals.
As for that quote, I just read in Consumer Reports about cell companies. AT&T ranked lowest in most markets for consumer satisfaction. However, the iPhone was ranked the highest. Same with Apple computers. (Doesn't mean I'll ever get them again!)
I've been telling you that AT&T ranks at the bottom for years. Don't you LISTEN?

WHat makes you so wrong is you think the Droid app wouldn't be offered for free? Apple therefor wouldn't be selling it.

Oh so now you've changed your answer whereas before I was purely wrong as were all American journalists. I'm so glad you've changed your mind. There may still be hope for you yet to obtain common sense.
By the way where's your sidekick been - the mouse?
None of these claims mean anything. Apple does not have a monopoly. They can do what they choose until they have one, and I don't foresee that any time in the near future.
This is kind of like telling BMW that they have to allow Mercedes advertisements to be plastered on the window or a Mercedes Sales Pitch CD must be put into every new BMW. Why? Because BMW doesn't have a monopoly. There are plenty of other choices out there. The same is true for personal computers.
Apple has no legal reason to allow it. Don't like it? Don't buy an Apple product.

In addition, it was reported that the current Android is not the "real" Android.
Is that better or worse to developers than the Apple App Store approval process?
