A new Podcasting application has been denied entry into the App Store because it “duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes,” according to a note the developer received from Apple.
The new application called Podcaster would allow users to download podcasts on their iPhone and listen to them whenever they wish. The app also streams podcasts live so you could listen to your favorite show anywhere you have an Internet connection.
Developers have voiced their frustration with the App Store before
The developer of Podcaster has contacted Apple to find out what he must do to have the app included in the store, so we’ll keep you posted. The feeling is, however, that Apple is simply protecting its own interests in this case.

So if its ok for Apple to kill applications from iPhone OS because they compete with Apple products, would it be ok if Microsoft blocks firefox and other browsers to be installed on windows because they compete with Internet Explorer’s functionality, because beleive me even MS is “in the business of making money” and would like to “protect its own interests”. Everyone would be outraged then shouting anti-trust, throwing around lawsuits.
Its shocking to see how blind sighted some Apple apologists can be.
This is typical anti-competitive behavior. Locking operating system to hardware platform and then killing off all competition.
To all Apple Apologists - What is wrong with you people? You really don’t see anything wrong with that?
To all talented iphone developers - stop coding for this closed monopoly.
