No, the rejection didn't have anything to do with Twitter. There was too little functionality in the app -- I was only showing John Gruber's Daring Fireball feed -- and Apple rejected it as being "not sufficiently useful or providing long-term entertainment value". So I've generalized it to allow the user their choice of Twitter feed. Hopefully that'll answer Apple's objections. And now I have to satisfy Twitter as well. Sigh. Howard
