I will not be buying your software. This is no fault of yours, so I apologize in advance.
Recent developments in the area of Apple messing with both you, the developer, and me, the customer, have soured me on this whole iPhone app nonsense. I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise. All the usual suspects of Mac development are either crying foul or else deciding to just completely ignore the iPhone platform.

I’ve been jonesing for an App Store boycott for a while now and I’m glad to see some developers and influential users taking steps in that direction. Until it starts hurting Apple financially in the form of stunted App Store growth and slumping iPhone sales due to that, they’re not going to start taking this seriously. Never in the three years I’ve been aligned with the company have I ever seen them behave in a manner so draconian and “big brotherly”. They need to be stopped.
