Why Stanza Had to Disable USB Syncing

Yesterday, the news that the makers of eReader app Stanza were forced to remove a popular feature from the app: the ability to transfer books between a PC and Stanza using a USB cable (with the assistance of another application, iPhone Explorer).

This post from The LA Times has some good info, including this statement from Apple: “”We requested Stanza remove the USB functionality in their app as it was a simple case of the developer using private APIs in violation of the developer agreement.”
