#2Seems to probably be a benign mistake that will be rectified or clarified in the future.

#3This developer is an idiot.
It's very simple. You can't make people register for no reason just to use an app. (e.g. just to harvest their information.)
Twitter, facebook, evernote, all have account features so they were approved. Apple was crystal clear explaining this.
The poster's muddled logic and inflamatory reaction shows me why Instapaper by Marco is a vastly superior product.
My guess is the author is using a fake controversy to drum up attention for his product. Astroturfing, methinks.

I wish I had your confidence. :(

#5I am a newbie in this space. Is it better to build webapps for Twitter, facebook and Gmail like applications that rely heavily on the data to be downloaded? Is this the best route for web developers to take? I have seen sencha mobile and it looks great for cross device compatibility as well iphone/ipad/android.

I'm not sure this is Astroturfing; Astroturfing is making something carefully planned look spontaneous and bottom-up. We need a new term for this. I suggest misinterpretunity.

As far as I can tell, RiL has account features. I don't know the guy but I have exchanged emails with him regarding pinboard.in integration and he didn't seem like an idiot nor is it really all that likely that he's posting this just to promote his app.
'Astroturfing' seems an odd choice of words, too, for someone who seems to have just created an account to call someone else an idiot.
A P.S.-ish edit - I know he recently wrote an opensource iOS library to simplify integration with various sharing services and seems to have added it to the latest version of his iPhone app. Pure speculation but I wonder if the reviewers saw that the app can potentially ask you for authentication information for a bunch of different services and some 'password harvester' alarm went off.

Is the ad hominem necessary? The app offers account-based features, namely cross-platform syncing.
Applying "never ascribe to malace what can be more simply ascribed to incompetence", I expect this is just a bad, baseless rejection. Apple is clearly not going to stop in-app login and registration, so this post is mainly FUD.
I can see how App Store rejection can drive a developer to these thoughts though.

How would you expect a service like this to exist without tieing an account to the items which you marked to read later?

I use Read It Later quite often. The account specific functionality is synchronization for saved URL's between Read It Later on various platforms: iPhone, Firefox, etc.
