CricketSong Accepted (again)

After successfully publishing version 1.0 of my CricketSong app, and then having an update rejected by Apple for using certain unpublished APIs (even though the original version used the same APIs), I rewrote it to use a custom FFT algorithm, and now it's back on the app store!

These private APIs are still covered by the NDA (yes, the f*ing NDA lives on), so we really can't talk about them much, and maybe I'm overstepping just by mentioning them (how draconian are they, anyway?). From my own experience and reading about others, it does seem like there is a lot of capability locked up in these APIs... Will they become public at some point?

I'm also using the FFT algorithm in my other app, Spectrogram. And while I was able to make it fast enough to be useful for a lot of cases, using the built in version would be much faster, as it takes advantage of the iPhone's built in VFP instruction set. If fast enough, you could use Spectrogram for voice analysis, which would be very cool.

I'm a software engineer enjoying work in both Ruby & Rails and the iPhone platform. I've published a couple of iPhone apps now: Spectrogram and CricketSong, and have a couple more in the pipeline.
