IMO There are only a few apps that Apple will not allow:

  1. VOIP over cellular. Jobs said in the presentation that VOIP over WiFi would be no problem, which kinda surprised me. Not that I care about this app, you understand. I want AT&T to build out the best 3G network in North America, and that takes money.

  2. Jailbreak and related apps, including anything resembling a file editor.

Like I said before, the only real question I have here is what exactly is Apple using as criteria for what they’ll allow in. Right now it seems like the criteria is “Whatever doesn’t hurt us too much, but if it does hurt us, we’ll allow it if it’s super popular like AIM. You know, basically it depends on how we feel that day.”
