Apple is so afraid of Android, just mentioning it will get your app banned from the iTunes store. Yes, Seriously.

I understand not wanting to promote your competition, so not wanting iPhone apps to mention Android (it’s the software running the Droid, the Nexus One, etc.) “makes sense”. But telling a vendor / partner that mentioning an award their Android App has won is grounds for being banned from the iTunes Store?

OK, here’s the deal: The Answer Guy Central iTunes App mentions Android liberally. If you’re an iPhone user, click here to go and download it now.

And tell Apple what you think of them.

Wow.
