Apple has been criticized over their stringent but inconsistent approval process for apps that will be featured in their App Store, but it seems that things are turning for the better. Word is that Apple is now reconsidering their stand on some rejected apps, and has started contacting several developers already asking them to resubmit their works sans any changes for an “expedited review.” On a probably similar note, the developer of the officially licensed C64 emulator for the iPhone disclosed that a senior Apple director has gotten in touch with him and said that there was “BIG new coming.” We’re not sure if this is related to the first part of the report or they’re an exceptional case, but nonetheless, this does give us hope that this gaming app might soon finally become available to the public.
