The whole noise about the app store process is really media driven. And ZDNet
is unfortunately fully backing up this trend.
Fueled by the media and some high-profile developer comments, the whole
thing has been blown far, far out of proportion.
In all honesty, and I am talking out of experience (I am a published,
professional iPhone developer), the review process is neither that monstrous
nor that slow.
And despite that the whole of the modern computer journalism is dead-set on
trying to convince the public that web apps offer the same experience as
desktop apps, the fact is that they do not.
And you know what? Consumers know that, as well. Try to convince the
millions of satisfied iPhone users to replace their beautiful native user
experience with clunky, slow, not-quite-there web apps.
The web is a great platform. The web is here to stay. But the web is just a piece
of the puzzle of modern IT and not the end-all, be-all of it.
Please, ZDNet try to be more objective and less sensationalist.
