- Apple rejects BitTorrent control app Drivetrain
Proving that they either don't understand what BitTorrent is or they're just not willing to touch anything with the slightest hint of a piracy association, Apple rejects an iPhone application that remotely controls the BitTorrent client, Transmission. Their reason? "This category of applications is often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights." By that logic, they'd better reject Safari while they're at it. To complicate matters, they've actually already approved a BitTorrent remote control called Trackr (iTunes link) that, incidentally, supports remotely adding torrents to Transmission and uTorrent.
