The TV filtering app is in the cloud. Now I'll make a free version linking to the full app in the App Store. I've prepared it with a couple of buttons and a limitation: it only has Swedish channels SVT1&2 and TV3&4.
It took about eight days for the app to pass the approval tests at Apple. It would be interesting to find out what's going on behind the scenes. And since it's Swedish only, they had to pass (at least some parts of) the test through a knowledgeable guy. When you go through the App Store review you also realize how big a process Apple has in place to ensure the relevance and stability of all the apps out there.
One more thing I realized, which I guess is very different to the Android Market, is that the App Store is not just a container where you dump your app. It more resembles creating a web site with the accompanying marketing material, searchability, and so on; with the difference that you get all the design (apart from your icon) for free. When you think about it a couple of seconds, anything else would be impertinent - but most of that stuff is so well hidden from the common iPhone App Store user that it tends to slip our minds. Typically Apple.
