Apple Rejects Torrent App, Approves Vonage App

Apple still is making some high profile rejections, but its also making some tough approvals

Just over a month ago Apple rejected Google Voice, a voice iPhone app that would allow international calling at reduced rates and free SMS text messaging. Apple claimed the rejection was not due to the voice functionality, but rather because the app replaced parts of the iPhone's interface.
Now after controversy over whether the reaction was proper, Apple has approved a separate voice-over-IP (VoIP) app from Vonage. Apple gave Vonage the green light to begin beta testing the new app among a select group of its customers. The new app is available on the iPhone and iPod Touch to these testers.

Still, the approval process was not without its difficulties. Apple last week admitted that Vonage's app approval was also hung up on technical issues (exact details were not specified), and the approval had been delayed. Apple promised that it was working with the developer to resolve these issues, and apparently it was good to its word.

Meanwhile, another app met a less fortunate fate. µMonitor, an app that would have allowed iPhone customers to control their home computer's uTorrent client on the go, has been unceremoniously rejected.

Remotely control uTorrent using your iPhone

Fresh off the recent denial of the Transmission BitTorrent app for the iPhone, users will now be able to have some remote uTorrent functionality using your iPhone. This one is not an installed app, but instead you will be visiting a web page that will allow you to check the current status of an active torrent, pause and/or resume a torrent download as well as adding a new torrent file.

Like I mentioned, these controls are not in the form of an iPhone app. Instead it involves some setup on the computer side. To begin with, you will need to download and install the uTorrent WebUI and also the uPhone UI. Once those are both set up you can then login and take control.

In interested, you can find the files to download as well as some directions on the iPhone Web Interface for uTorrent webpage.
