You Win, RIM!

Jamie Murai napisał otwarty list do zespołu odpowiedzialnego za relacje z developerami:

You win. I concede defeat. I no longer want to attempt developing an app for the Playbook. Are you happy now? Surely you must be. Considering how terribly designed the entire process is, from the registration right through to loading an app into the simulator, I can only assume that you are trying to drive developers away by inconveniencing them as much as humanly possible. Just in case you’ve forgotten, let me give you a little recap of the process you’ve put together.

Cena za możliwość sprzedawania aplikacji w porównaniu z konkurencją też nie jest mała:

You, on the other hand, have decided that for $200, a developer should only get to publish 10 apps, and it will cost $200 for every additional 10 apps. On Twitter, I believe that would colloquially be referred to as a fail.

Musicie przeczytać całość — cały ten proces woła o pomstę do nieba. Jeszcze jedna perełka:

You wanted me to print off a notarized statement of identification form, fill it out, take it to notary with government issue ID to have it notarized, and then return it to you so that you could be absolutely sure with 100% accuracy that I was who I said I was. I think it goes without saying at this point, but neither Apple nor Google require you to do anything even close to that.

Notariusz? Seriously?
