So somewhere inside Cupertino....

.... is a list of developers....

I don't see how you arrive at that.

To me "During our review of your application we found it is using a private API, which is in violation of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.1... While your application has not been rejected, it would be appropriate to resolve this issue in your next update." doesn't Mean "Wink, wink nudge, nudge you're on the list, know what I mean?". Its more likely to mean "We'll let you off with a caution this time, but your next release had better not be using that private API".

The problem

Knocking Video is rubbish.

There is no sound, no sort of interface once the video starts, and the video itself is very jerky. I guess one good thing is the 'push' stuff, so people can start the video without you being in the app.

It has less features than Qik, which has been on 'broken iphones for a while now (and on other makes of phone that actually allow you control on the software you install)

App developers need to be let loose on this video API, so it can be integrated into better apps, like palringo etc. Oh, and a forward facing camera please apple, so it works with Skype. Then i might stop moaning how my 3 year old SE could do more than my latest/greatest iphone.

Other apps?

First para says: "... leading to approval for other applications that also make use of private APIs."

Where does this idea come from? It looks to me like a one-off.
