![]() ![]() Apple is showing some signs of listening, learning and effecting change. Lets hope that by the time the iTunes App Store reaches it's first anniversary that Apple will be able to find the balance that iPhone users and developers need, and that the App Store rules will bend a little bit more even though it is clear from this story that that is already happening. What's missing for the App Store, however, are rules that the developer community can trust. You get 35 Fart Sounds including favorites like Dirty Raoul, Wipe Out and The Brown Mosquito, plus features like Sneak Attack, Security Fart and Blast. Our Sneak Attack and 'Security Fart' functions have pranked Millions iFart is free with no annoying ads. It's clear that practically anyone would welcome apps like Nullriver's phone-as-modem app NetShare, and Apple has already started accepting third-party Web browsers. We started the fart app craze back in 2008 on iTunes and took the world by storm. Apple subsequently accepted the app into the App Store. The developer, however, explained that he came up with his own version of Coverflow using his own code. Peeps $1.99 ( iTunes Link) made by Plausible Labs, is famous because Apple went after the developer for what appeared to be the use of Private APIs that facilitate the use of Coverflow in their app. However, it might be risk that is worthwhile for some developers seeking to bring otherwise impossible features to their appilcations, e.g. The problem with this whole situation is that using the undocumented API's in your application can put it at the risk of failing in the future if Apple does any software updates that affect it. That's considered a big no-no in the development community. Google has denied, however, a more serious charge that it was linking to private or dynamic frameworks in the Google Mobile application. iPhone developers were only supposed to use the APIs that Apple published in its SDK when they create their applications under the terms of that agreement. "A Google spokesman confirmed Tuesday that Google Mobile uses undocumented APIs (application programming interfaces) in order to use the iPhone's proximity sensor to prompt a verbal search. Tom Krazit reported, that "Google acknowledged breaking the official rules of Apple's iPhone software development kit(SDK) which it created the latest version of the Google Mobile application for the iPhone, but denied a more serious charge." To find out the best fart sound, there would have to be a double-blind study with the real thing.Application Programming Interface Rules Broken As far as the sound goes, on Pull My Finger, the last time I pulled someone's finger, it was a much lower pitched fart.The iFart sound seemed mono-tonal. Maybe, farting is just a universal iPhone concept. It looks like they had the same ideas simultaneously. ![]() Research reveals that there are 14 fart-related apps in the Apple iPhone App store. The Pull My Finger video was posted 9/08. iFart's YouTube video says, "iFart- Pull My Finger." It sure looks like they stole the concept from Pull My Finger. We have not been able to tell which app provides the best fart and most fun. This gaseous news is not good news to the iPhone app that was rejected in September by the iPhone App Store, "Pull My FInger." Pull My Finger is now back in the entertainment category and appears to have lost some of it flatulence to iFart. iFart for iPhone also as a "Sneak Attack" function for pulling pranks on parents, children, friends, teachers, workmates and employers alike. It has a built-in security system, designed to surprise and discourage iPhone theft. IFart Mobile is a digital sound machine with many fart functions. What iPhone app has blasted to the top of the entertainment category? It even gassed past Koi Pond and the burpiliscious iBeer. ![]()
