iPhone Software from Satosoft

Yesterday, satosoft.com CEO, Graham French, received an email from Chris Noel of BrightHouseLabs, asking if satosoft were interested in either selling them the iAboutClock application or some source code.

After a relatively brief email exchange, satosoft declined to take the talks any further.

“We were somewhat surprised to hear from another iPhone App developer.” said Graham, “Especially when they were looking to purchase one of our applications, the iAboutClock, for their own development use”

Bright House Labs have been criticised in the past for creating a high volume of apps in the iTunes App Store, which are very similar, if not almost identical to others.

Graham added, “It was a short email exchange, we’d never heard of Bright House Labs. After looking them up, we decided that we did not want to be associated in any way with them or their iPhone App strategies!”

A copy of the last email sent to Chris Noel is shown below;

Chris,

Thanks for your interest.

I’m unable to take this conversation any further, for two specific reasons;

1. You mention below that you are looking to provide a small payment for this. As mentioned in my previous email, I’ve never considered doing this, especially for what would be a sum of money so small, that it would be insulting.
2. Secondly, yet more importantly, we’ve done some research on your company, having never heard of you before. To be brutally honest, satosoft.com would never be associated with the type of company you are. The damage to our high value brand would be too great. Your company’s method of producing multiple, almost identical apps, flooding the iTunes App Store with what we consider to be questionable quality, is far, far below the ethical standards that we live by.

I wish you the best of luck in your ventures.

Regards

Graham

“I’ve not had a reply from them and I’m not expecting one!” Graham finally added.
