TechCrunch is reporting that many developers, who are creating apps for the iPhone, have not been paid by Apple for the sales of their Apps at the App Store.
One email chain, forwarded by a developer to TechCrunch, shows an Apple employee stating the developer's anguish at not being paid as "bordering on harrassment"
Another developer hasn't been paid since November and is owed around $7000 in sales.
For the iPhone to really work, it relies on their being fresh content at the app store and behavior like this will drive potential developers away, surely Apple are just shooting themselves in the foot?

It seems to be more and more of a trend with companies these days that they hold off payment for as long as possible. They are shooting themselves in the foot, but with the amount of people that can develop applications it will be a while before they run dry and in the meantime, apple are collecting the interest in that money
