Apple rejects Sony Reader Store app

Posted in Apple by Conner Flynn on February 1st, 2011

Just when you thought that they couldn’t get any more restrictive, it looks like Apple is tightening its iron grip in their iTunes App Store. The company has reportedly rejected Sony’s eBook store app – the Sony Reader Store from the iTunes App Store.

The reason for the rejection was changes in Apple’s App Store policy: All in-app purchases will now have to go through Apple. Apparently apps that sell their own content will not be allowed in the App Store in the future. Apple also may be planning to get into in the eBook business. Apple’s The Daily announcement is happening tomorrow, so we will see if they shed any more light on this.

    So does this mean that Peggle is going to be rejected anytime soon? Peggle Nights can only be bought in-game and not through Itunes. This means that Peggle controls the download / transfer to Ipods/Iphones (which my family have a number of) and not Itunes, which seems to be awfully similar to the Sony Reader App.
