Is Apple prepping a heavy hand to combat lookalike applications on its App Store? That's the rumor being put forth by sharp-eyed readers who took note of a rather interesting blog post by Mobile Roadie founder Michael Schneider.
Mobile Roadie is a service based on one simple tagline, The simple and inexpensive way for anyone to build and manage their own iPhone and Android apps." In short, wannabe developers can use the service to create template-driven applications.
While there's a little bit of customizability involved in selecting the various categories, or tabs, that you want the app to deliver, the created apps are all relatively similar for the most part. And if you don't believe me, just check out Mobile Roadie's offerings yourself--the proof is in the digital pudding.
