App Created By Student Rejected By Apple, Now Appears As Apple App [pcr-online.biz]
A University of Birmingham student said he was shocked to discover the similarity of the new Apple iOS 5 Wi-Fi Sync feature to his previously rejected application.

Greg Hughes Wi-Fi Sync application was rejected fro the iTunes App Store in May of last year according to a Register report. An Apple developer relations representative called to deliver the bad news, reportedly telling Hughes that the firm's engineers were 'impressed' by the app.

On Monday Apple unveiled iOS 5 with an identically named Wi-Fi Sync feature and a logo with a striking similarity to that of Hughes' Wi-Fi Sync icon.

Coincidence or rip-off? You decide.
