I think Ken said there would be a two week run of the 3.7 beta, then the app will be released along with the full 3.7 release......

I did say "i think".....

Why would the appstore be locked down on Thanksgiving ?

I doubt very much DVDP does anything Apple is going to turn it down over, especially now given the new approval process.

I've heard of apps being refused for the dumbest things.  One I recall got denied because one of their buttons looked too much like Apple's help button or something stupid.  I doubt Ken broke any rules and I expect it to pass.  Still, you never know.  Apple has denied other apps for some really trivial reasons.  To me anyway.

As for locking down the app store, I have no clue.  It's just an article I read last week.  It makes no sense, but if you read it, they did so last year during the Christmas holidays.  Not locked down to end users, just to developers as I understand it.

And that's a good point about 4.2 being released.  They're going to be busier than normal with lots of people submitting 4.2 updates.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm expecting a December release.

Oh yeah I know, but a few weeks ago they modified the approval process, and lately it seems they're rejecting less and less apps for the dumb reasons they were rejecting them before. But I too, think we'll be waiting for December for this to come out.

Apple is doing an unusual additional shutdown of iTunes Connect this year, a report claims. The developer service typically closes down during the week of Christmas, preventing developers from having apps or app updates reviewed and posted to the App Store. Ranking charts also freeze, meaning that any changes in popularity go unreflected.

The extra shutdown is expected to take place the week of American Thanksgiving, in late November. Why it may be happening is unknown, but it's speculated that Apple may want to use the time migrate the iTunes service to new servers, where it can test and ultimately deploy some form of streaming technology. The company is known to be finishing off an unusually large data center in North Carolina which will begin operations by the end of the year.

Multiple shutdowns could cause havoc for developers, not only terms of schedules but income. Both Thanksgiving and Christmas are normally busy periods for the App Store, and apps not already on the top charts before an iTunes Connect shutdown forego the corresponding exposure. Developers may have to accelerate their work and marketing efforts this year to keep revenue flowing.

This sounds more Realistic to me!  I was also thinking this.  He's already blew threw his Late Oct Release Date!!!  These last 2 months can really be busy months, and you think you'll have it done by such and such and before you know it, it's a new year.    If it comes before then, GREAT, I'll be even happier, but It's been over 4 years now since the Iphone was first released!!!  From the Rumors of being worked on until now has been so  SSSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWWWWW.    Hey Android users, you might have a 4 year wait yourself.  WM7 users, Who knows.  Having 1 person do all these Different versions is going to bring everything to a even slower Crawl if that's even possible.

This story from a few days ago on MacRumors.com refutes that.  It's now sounding like it will just be Christmas.

Yeah Mark I agree that story was apparently BS, I should have updated the post. Thanks for posting that. Maybe we might have Profiler before the end of Nov. (hope, hope, hope).
