Apple adds three stage viewer of App approval progress.  Here’s a couple more ideas to make it a lot better.

If there was ever a perfect example of hell freezing over, this is it. After months and months of harsh criticisms stemming from the god awful review process and absolute lack of any communication, it seems Apple is finally starting to listen to the very people that have catapulted the iPhone to what it is. Starting today, Apple is making steps towards a more transparent app approval process and communication with devs. I wouldn’t exactly call it transparent yet,...
