shame on Apple for letting this through then, but I won't complain unless other developers are prevented from using the proximity sensor in their apps.

@jonprice Apple did reject this app. I think it did made big news that even Google apps were rejected by Apple.

but it only held up release a couple of days. it's out there now, I have it. and it's very well done. I'd love to see what other developers can do with access to the proximity sensor.
