My first Iphone app live

APPLE should be making it clear, by allowing the author to state (via tickboxes if necessary) which machine the app IS compatible with.

You are, of course, quite right, but.... Apple takes a chunk of each sale, doesn't it? So a compatability chart might - in the short term - restrict it's income?


Oooh, I'm a cynic!

Indeed, but it's not particularly good relations to allow a user to pay for and download an app that isn't compatible with their device. Not that Apple give a toss about such things; they're like Bob Geldof - "Just give us your f###ing money!"

Or "well, if it doesn't work when you hold it like that - don't hold it like that!". In the long term it's not great PR, but they will probably try and spin it in their favour if/when they do add such a feature - and probably blame the backlog of uncategorised apps as a problem which prevents them from adding the feature in the short term
