Open on PlayBook: App Rejected

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a couple of PlayBook apps in an afternoon. One of them is named "Open on PlayBook". The concept is that sometimes you'll be viewing a webpage on your computer and want to pick up your PlayBook and continue reading the article on your tablet. The app allows you to do just that.

I posted on CrackBerry's forums and had some people beta test it. There seemed to be a pretty good response to the app so I was looking forward to posting it for sale on App World.

Unfortunately the App World team rejected it because it uses the word "PlayBook" in the title. This is the first time I've had an app be rejected, and it's not a pleasant experience. The App World team suggested I rename the app "Open for BlackBerry PlayBook" which doesn't make much sense if you ask me. (Perhaps it's semi-automated reply or something)

I think I'll rename the app "Open on Tablet" and try again.
