Bad news for iPhone's heavy facebook app users

Attention iPhone facebook users, your developer (the only developer) had just quit making enhacements to the facebook app on the iPhone. The reason behind this is that he doesn't like the iPhone app approval policy, here's some quotes from his statement about the apps approval policy on the iPhone.
My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple's policies. I respect their right to manage their platform however they want, however I am philosophically opposed to the existence of their review process. I am very concerned that they are setting a horrible precedent for other software platforms, and soon gatekeepers will start infesting the lives of every software developer.
The web is still unrestricted and free, and so I am returning to my roots as a web developer. In the long term, I would like to be able to say that I helped to make the web the best mobile platform available, rather than being part of the transition to a world where every developer must go through a middleman to get their software in the hands of users."
It's not the end of the World, some other engineers/developers will continue his work, but i doubt it would be as good.
Thanks Techcrunch for this story
