Netshare tethering app banned from iTunes App Store

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - September 16, 2008


It looks like Apple is putting the squeeze on certain Apps in the iTunes Apps Store. They have apparently banned NetShare, a tethering app from the App Store. I guess Apple does not want people using their iPhone as a modem.

Nullriver posted a notice on their web site relating to the NetShare software.

"Looks like Apple has decided they will not be allowing any tethering applications in the AppStore. As such, NetShare will not be available in the iTunes AppStore. We are seeing a lot of similar reports from various developers who's applications were abruptly removed and banned from the AppStore without any violations of the terms of service. This is all unfortunate news for the iPhone platform end-users."

What's up Apple? We thought you were much more open these days.
