MacRumors reports that Apple are dropping the highly-restrictive NDA associated with developing iPhone apps.

I wrote last week about a disgruntled developer who bypassed the Apple iPhone app store. This week they have not only shut down that avenue but also extended the developer non-disclosure agreement to cover rejection letters from the app store.
Much as we like our iPhones, I think Apple are headed for trouble here.
