I believe that there's a shared responsibility here. Apple shouldn't restrict application pricing or availability (for non-malicious apps). Users need to be careful about the purchase they make - and Apple makes provisions for this. At the same time, developers should be conscientious, considerate, and kind when creating and pricing an application.

An informed soure at Apple confirmed to me that the "clbl" in the URL stands for "Core Location Blacklist", and that it does just that.

"Maybe [Apple's] lawyers believe there are patentable inventions described in the iPhone SDK and they are telling Apple to keep everything under NDA until they know provisional patents can be filed within a reasonable amount of time."

Until Apple explains why it has included this function, or an application appears on the blacklist and is wiped from someone's phone, it's all just the usual leaping to conclusions on a sleepy Thursday in August.

Wondering what goes into the process of determiing what iPhone applications make the grade for Apple's App Store? You're not alone—the developers who write those programs sometimes find themselves wondering the same thing.

If you're planning on buying a touch, it may be a case of buyer beware—that "new" hardware may not be as new as you thought. And the price tag may be a few dollars more than what you thought you were going to pay.
There's no 2.0 software on iPod touch, even if you buy it today from Apple Store.
