After Apple rejected the
Google Voice app it was
reported on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) and other blogs that Apple would also be rejecting all new e-book submissions for iPhone apps because
"this category of applications is often used for the purpose of infringing upon third party rights. We have chosen to not publish this type of application to the App Store." Apple recently cleared up the rumor and stated,
“We have not stopped approving ebook readers and ebooks in fact we've approved 221 new ebooks to the App Store since 7/30/09. The book category in the App Store lists 6,000 apps and this doesn't cover the full scope since ebooks are included in other categories like medical, reference and education."
