The world needs developers to continually push the envelope. Apple is a little closed off on innovaion from Developers, they don't really push the envelope as much as developers want them to... If you have something that's really compelling, and apple keeps rejecting it, don't just go silent into the night - complain. Do an appeal, complain, use whatever means necessary to get your idea out there... Apple responds well to the media; if you go and you put a nice campaign together and you say this app should be approved for these reasons, and you go to the media and talk about it, chances are Apple will eventually approve it.
