Apple’s behavior towards the cellular radiation application has irked resentment in many iPhone users who seriously wish to know the radiation levels they are subjected to when they use the phone. I always believe people deserve the right not to have radiation statistics hidden from them. Not only did the iPhone developer create an application which shares SAR levels but also an app which shows real-time gauge to see when they’re exposed to higher and lower levels of radiation. The Tawkon application minimizes radiation exposure of a cellphone at any given time.

I feel Apple’s response to the developers plea for appstore approval is a very damaging in users interest and eventually will cause people doubting Apple’s transparency letting know its radiation levels.

If you want to help Tawkon out in making it get download able to Apple users then you can sign this email and send it to Apple within a single click.

Tawkon for iPhone was earlier rejected by Apple. Now, when the same App is available for download at BlackBerry AppStore for BlackBerry devices, Apple decided to open their private API to Tawkon guys to make their app full fledge for iPhone.

Basically, the major difference is that the app which was submitted to Apple for iPhone was not background aware whereas the BlackBerry App is. So, when the user is on call on his / her BlackBerry device, it prompt user about the cellular radiation frequency right away as it is running in background already. But an iPhone, which is not capable of running apps in background was not doing the same.

Gil Friedlander, Tawkon’s CEO said, that they’re closely working with Apple’s iPhone Application Technology team to get the Tawkon App to the AppStore.

As an iPhone developer, I suspect that the Tawkon App was earlier rejected because, the new iPhone OS 4 being background / multitasking aware (ability to run more than one app simultaneously) is incapable of making Tawkon App background aware through those 7 standard APIs provided by Apple in iPhone 4 SDK.

Now, when Apple has offered to open up their private API specially for these iPhone developers it is likely that we will very soon see the Tawkon app in the appstore and it will be completely background aware.
