If you just so happen to have a thing for Nine Inch Nails and also love carrying around a certain fruity device (no I don’t mean an apple), then this morning/afternoon/evening you have something exciting to look forward to. The screenshot above clearly shows that Trent Reznor and his band NIN are in the process and apparently final stages of bringing a Blackberry version of the “controversial” (by Apple’s utter retarded App Approval process) app to the Blackberry crowd. With more and more developers and apps hoping on board with RIM and App World, the iPhone can is longer the only device winning over developers and the popular media/celebrities hearts. Granted, RIM still has quite a ways to go to fully compete with the App Stores ease of use and selection. But I’ve got time, don’t you? I’m sure many a NIN and Blackberry fan are pretty excited. Am I right? Mr. Blackberry, ’tis your turn.

Apple’s App Store approval process continues to be an epic failure.

Coming off a low point for Apple and their App Store approval process with the now app heard round the world, “Babyshaker“, many thought that that event would finally shake things up at Apple and turn their yes/no button pusher into a little more of a consistent fellow.  We thought too much folks as it appears that the approval process is still as dumb as ever.  The latest epic failure being the NIN app 1.03 update.  The Nine Inch Nails iPhone app is a “companion to the website” according to front man Trent Reznor.  So cutting to the nitty-gritty, why was the update banned?  Well besides an inconsistent approval process, apparently the reason the NIN app was rejected was for “objectionable content” in the form of one song of of their album “Downward Sprial” playing in the background while streaming a podcast.  Confused and/or downright disgusted by the sheer incompetence that continues to approve/reject apps?
