If you think the Apple App Store is taking all the heat for its controversial manner of approving submitted iPhone apps then guess again. Palm’s App Catalog made it first official app rejection by thumbing down the NaNplayer, a music player app.

Apparently the folks over at the App Catalog camp found some inconsistencies for the NaNplayer and this was traced to the undocumented use of a webOS API call. The said app was using the same API the built-in music player uses to index files so it could make playlists.

Vodafone continues to improve its current line of handsets and the latest is that of the Vodafone 527 Catwallk Collection. Away from the handset headlines, Vodafone continues to roll out own-brand phones that do the job, but come with at a no-frills price tag. As well as a bunch of new models announced recently, Vodafone has given its ultra low-cost models a Catwalk Collection refresh.

The new-look Vodafone 527 is one of these, a budget candybar phone that has been made over for value-conscious phone buyers who still desire a bit of show. The recession-beating 527 Catwalk Collection phone is now available in a range of eye-grabbingly colourful bodywork choices - violet, ice (white), rose (pink), lemon and sky (blue).

The 527 is not exactly stuffed to the gills with high-tech gadgetry. It’s a workmanlike dual-band GSM handset rather than a 3G model. But it does have a few features to entertain away the downturn, including a music player with MicroSD memory card expansion, FM radio, and camera.
