Nowadays we rely on ratings and reviews to make decisions that will obviously have the most dramatic influence on our lives, such as which toilet tissue will be the softest on our underside, or which restaurant will get our hard earned cash in exchange for food. Apple has taken these concerns in to consideration with the iTunes App Store. Apple is looking to provide users with another opportunity to praise, or slam, an App Store app.
The recently seeded iPhone 2.2 Beta 2 upgrade asks iPhone/iPod touch users to rate applications after they have decided to remove it from their beloved devices. The information will be fed into Apple's information super highway and the ratings will probably appear in the iTunes App Store. Originally, anyone was able to rate and review apps, which didn't make much sense if that "anyone" hadn't even purchased and used the app. Now Apple requires that the application be purchased before a rating/ review can be made. How well an app will be rated as it's being deleted is another issue all together.
