I think it’s blatantly obvious that this app is extremely useful and I don’t believe for a single minute that anyone at Apple is incapable of seeing that: look at the video! It seems more likely that they may have something like this in the works already and don’t want to get a 3rd party involved. Or they realized they should do it themselves *after* checking out the app.

This is silly. There’s already a TUIO app in the store, but it’s paid.

It would be a huge asset to the DIY MT community if we could get a better tool for free!

i’m with you memo.
i’m also a developer and i think apple should definetively change its way of working about this matter.
they should just *let the users decide* whether they want to install apps that weren’t approved by apple.
we want to be free to choose.

p.s. today i bought pears.

You have seen how “community driven” projects all of a sudden get strange license agreements.

The Ipod has been chained to itunes for a
while now…
YES WE CAN!
Apple is not the only market leader taking full advantage of their leadership.
They’d rightfully be criticized by their shareholders if they didn’t.

The only solution is:
Take your software to a competitor.
This market will be open until said
company gains leadership. Then…
go somewhere else.
