Straight from the twitter account of the man himself, the NIN iPhone app has been approved and will be available sometime later today “unchanged” from the version that Apple found objectionable.
The technologically-inclined NIN frontman is notoriously vocal about tech, media and censorship issues, but Apple’s recent rejection of his iPhone app really sent Trent Reznor over the edge, and onto his forums.
I Do Not Want This news to be true, but it is: Apple rejected the NIN app update for “objectionable content.” I have never felt Closer to Trent Reznor than I do today, little Piggy.
Other bands might have been first, but Trent Reznor is about to blow them all way with NIN’s coming iPhone app, which completely enshrines his place as the Highlander of musicians on the internet.
Tapulous—the creators of that Perfect Drug of an app, Tap Tap Revenge–is partnering up with Nine Inch Nails to put over a dozen of the band’s songs in the game. The alliance will be one of the first to bring licensed content to iPhone apps and, depending on how successful it is, could mark a surge of similar musician/application deals. Considering how addictive the game (with a Capital G) is, this NIN-bundle could be the thing that’ll suck you Into The Tap Tap Revenge Void. [TechCrunch]
