I am sure that Apple’s conduct within the App Store isn’t surprising anyone at this point. After the whole Google Voice scandal, Apple does it again. This time is the iStat application. The app has been initially allowed in the App Store, but now Apple decided to reject it, particularly after Bjango launched a new update for its customers.

If you happen to own iStat, don’t upgrade when given the chance to do so. You’ll be sorry:

Where did ‘Free Memory’ go?

iStat’s Free Memory function was removed at Apple’s request.

This decision was completely out of our hands. Please note that all other apps with Free Memory appear to have been removed or updated without their Free Memory function too.

This was not taken lightly—we examined our choices, taking a lot of public feedback on board. We apologise [sic] for any inconvenience this may have caused and we do not plan to remove any other features from iStat.

If you choose (and you haven’t already updated), you can continue to run iStat version 1.0. You’ll miss out on new features, but you’ll get to keep the Free Memory feature.

We are very committed to ensuring iStat is the best iPhone and iPod Touch monitoring tool. Free Memory has been removed, but a lot of other useful features will be added in its place.

What’s wrong with Free Memory then? We’ll be waiting for Apple or the FCC or whoever comes up with a good answer to enlighten us!
