Landscape Email Apps - Is Apple Easing Up on Rejection Policy?

This morning saw the release of four applications that offer you the ability to compose emails in landscape mode.

- Wide Email - $0.99
- Sideways - $1.99
- Touchtype (Landscape Email) - $0.99
- Compose - $4.99

Not speaking to the value of these apps, but on the surface it seems surprising that Apple would approve these apps after rejecting some others due to duplicating functionality "without providing sufficient differentiation". Is Apple easing up on its rejection policy?

now this is interesting. maybe apple is easing it up a bit

maybe so

if they are, then we'll continue to see more and more apps in the store

clearly they are easing up

i hope so. then developers won't be scared to make something and then have it rejected

yep. this would be good to know if i ever become a developer

yep. glad to see this

less rejections could be good, or bad i guess

i bet they aren't really changing their policy
