Ultimately anyone could develop for Brew but it was up to Verizon to decide if the application would see any commercialization. I personally know a handful companies who have been burned by Verizon Biz Dev after developing their application for Brew…. and it was not becuase the applications were not worth selling. Some of these applciations were game-changing(VOIP/Social Networking/Messaging/Barcode) but were rejected becuase they competed or could potentially compete in some way with VZW's network services.
Apple is creating a walled garden enviornment which is no different from a business sense.

You obviously dont have the ability to build anything worth selling. Do you think Apple is going to reject an application that has the potential to be a great release? Go post your complaints somewhere else, 'Mr. 2000'

I think it's ridiculous that Developers are such whiners.
