Microsoft removes Imagewind from Marketplace, WP7 gets first bitter taste of rejection

Oh, sure, it was easy to choose on Apple for all those frustrating App Store rejections through the years, but Google’s had its own run-ins with apps being pulled under unfortunate circumstances , and now it’s time for WP7 users to get a taste. Microsoft has pulled Imagewind from the Windows Phone Marketplace, an app that actually pulls random images en masse from the Twitter-stream, splaying all of them over your touchscreen. MS indicated that, without some form of filter to weed out seedy images, the app has to head. Somewhat curiously it’s actually be chilling that you can purchase since March 3rd, and it was only upon reviewing a contemporary update that somebody in Redmond said “Hey, waitaminute!” Imagewind is now gone and honestly we will’t say that its rejection is absolutely arbitrary — displaying all images the on a regular basis isn’t necessarily a great thing for sensitive eyes — however it still stings, doesn’t it?
