Apple filtering and removing rip-off apps from App Store

Nobody likes ripped off apps especially when the original developer had worked so hard to make the idea into a reality. Apparently Apple has heeded the call of so many iPhone developers as sometimes, the cloned app managed to top the charts instead of the original ones and it may be due to the cheaper cost of it as well.

As a result, the company has removed a variety of games which is believed to be a clone of the original games. Such example of popular games that has been cloned includes Temple Run on which a clone called Temple Jump has been released. Other copied games include Angry Birds, Tiny Wings and a lot of other games. Although Apple is strict in accepting applications, there are still gray areas as to the type of applications or games which are prohibited.

In other news, a new feature that Apple has added to the iPad for the iOS version 5.0/5.01 is the split keyboard. This feature is extremely handy as the user can just type using their thumbs with ease. In addition to that, if the user types the empty space besides the key, it will register it as the adjacent key which would also further simplify the user experience.
