    Never knew this app existed. I have been looking for an app that can do this, My search just ended, but not in a good mood :P

    Anyway, I find it very annoying having to goto the website that you set up (the remote control one via Transmission setting)

    Any more news on this is appreciated,
    Thanks for the Post

    "What do you think Apple should do to fix the approval process?"

    Ask 'US', the end user what we'd *like* to have.
    Not tell us what we cant have!

    "reporting that their iPhone app has got rejected by Apple."

    Should be, "their iPhone app has been rejected by Apple."

    Hello Apple, your iPhone is often used for the purpose of infringing third party rights!!! I would bet 80% of music on iPhones is not legit.

    i asked a few friends around the world, they in turn asked 10 of their friends. My somewhat unofficial survey came up with.....100% of those asked had illegally sourced music on their phones, only 7 out of 89 people had games they paid for and all who had video's (films) were sourced from torrents or bluetooth
    Now you don't see Nokia or Sony Ericsson putting blocks up do you??

    Yeah right. You know, kitchen knives "could be used to Infringe Third Party Rights" either. Why don't we ban them too? And hammers or baseball bats along the way! Especially since they can "infringe" rights that are much more relevant than copy-rights.
