A developer from India has recently been kicked from the App store along with all his 900+ various applications. Khalid Shaikh had built a business on the worst aspects of Apples marketplace, cheap, poorly designed and useless apps.
Khalid Shaikh with a team of 26 engineers working 12 hour days for six days a week they were able to produce 943 applications, most of which just aggregated news and articles from various sites. He was able to sell these apps for $4.99 and Khalid Shaikh said to Mobile Crunch that he was making thousands of dollars a day with this technique.
Various complaints were sent to Apple about his apps, most of them concerned about copyright issues and this lead Apple to the decision to end Khalid Shaikh developer agreement and to remove his applications from the app store. I am certainly glad to see that Apple has chosen to remove this content from the store as im sure many others are as well.
