After initially banning the e-book reader Eucalyptus because it allowed users to download a text copy of the Kama Sutra, Apple finally came to its senses and decided to accept Eucalyptus into the app store with no requirement that the developer manually block users from downloading the Kama Sutra.
James Montgomorie, the developer of Eucalyptus, wrote in a blogpost earlier today:
Earlier today I received a phone call from an Apple representative. He was very complimentary about Eucalyptus. We talked about the confusion surrounding its App Store rejections, which I am happy to say is now fully resolved. He invited me to re-build and submit a version of Eucalyptus with no filters for immediate approval, and that full version is now available on the iPhone App Store.
The system works!
