Today the Electronic Frontier Foundation launched a new app that will make it easier for people to take action on digital rights issues using their phone. The app allows folks to connect to their action center quickly and easily, using a variety of mobile devices. Sadly, though, they had to leave out Apple devices and the folks who use them.

Why? "Because we could not agree to the outrageous terms in Apple’s Developer Agreement and Apple’s DRM requirements. As we have been saying for years now, the Developer Agreement is bad for developers and users alike."

The EFF has a petition to try to get Apple to change their abusive and anti-competitive policies. The EFF does a lot of good work defending everyone's rights and freedoms online. Consider signing it. Note: you can sign on any browser, including mobile browsers on an iPhone

    I came to say the same thing. Before the iPhone even had apps, Steve touted web apps. I still have a couple I keep on my phone that I've had since the original iPhone. I have to imaging anyone involved enough in the fight to know about and support the EFF would be willing to put a web app on their iPhone. It's a "good enough" solution that will work for all intents and purposes.
