This app is a DOSbox based open source DOS emulator, which offers support for keyboard, mouse and even multiple screen modes. iDos works equally well on the 4th iPod Touch 4G at 960*640 resolution! It had a brief stay at the App Store before being officially booted out. The reason for the removal is still not clear.

But Apple rejected the initial version of their iPhone app for a different reason. It was rejected based on the SDK clause specifically prohibiting interpreted or executable code.
Apple worked with the developer and finally approved the iPhone game with BASIC disabled (or at least that (more…)
