Scratch was kicked off the iTunes App store

CNET Buzz Out Loud episode (around 10:48 in the video/mp3), they mention Scratch and that iTunes rejected it. Listen to it for more details. http://cnettv.cnet.com/ Go to 10:48 in the video, and listen!

Apparently, apple once approved and and praised it. But then they removed it. I still have it because I got it when it was available from the app store.

Re: Scratch was kicked off the iTunes App store

Apparently this was taken off a few weeks ago because Apple doesn't allow any code interpreters but its own on the App store. Which is so very, very sad.

Re: Scratch was kicked off the iTunes App store

Sad to see this go. At least I still have the app, I got it when it wasn't taken down.

Re: Scratch was kicked off the iTunes App store

Someone should upload it to like Cydia or Rock. And does Java work on iPods? Because couldn't they just have you go to the scratch website and save it as a homescreen icon? Or no...

Re: Scratch was kicked off the iTunes App store

I guess it is because then any apps could be created without apple checking them via scratch.

Re: Scratch was kicked off the iTunes App store

I finally jailbroke my iPod touch 3rd gen with firmware 3.1.3!
If only someone uploaded scratch to Cydia (?).

Wow, I had no idea there was a "Cydia!" Still, I don't think illegally uploading it is the answer.

That, while revalent, would probably be best under Show+Tell. Not sure though.
