In a surprising turn of events in the land of ereader apps, Apple has rejected Sony's eReader app despite allowing both Kindle and Nook apps. Some speculate that Apple is attempting to derail more eReaders from being used on its devices, either by cutting competition from its own eBookstore or just out of spite. This article explains the situation in great detail. My personal opinion, formed after years of study in temples across the land, is that Apple don't want nobody up in their Kool-Aid. They let Microsoft slide in a little, but Microsoft already had a mobile platform of their very own. With little seen of the new PSP phone, Sony has only to grasp at the current race of smartphones. With Apple shutting them out, they will have no option than to either keep selling their own reader or go all out kung fu style. I hope for option #2.
